Best time of year to visit New Hampshire
Choose May to June and September to October as the best time to visit New Hampshire. It has comfortable weather conditions with a load of things to do. Late spring brings lobster season but also rainy days. However, they almost vanish as June sets in. Early fall is about pleasant temperatures, relatively dry sunny days, and leaves changing colors by leaps and bounds—high time to take part in the New Hampshire Marathon and observe all the beauty. The high season runs from July to August and attracts hordes of tourists to New Hampshire. Summer is hot, with long sunny days, and probable thunderstorms. Winter sees short days, wild snowstorms and freezing cold, but the Christmas lights around New Hampshire are astonishing. Temperatures warm a little in early spring, but the weather is still gloomy and brisk. Hike Mount Washington in April, and you won't regret it.
