The United States is practically a continent β€” 50 states with climates ranging from Alaskan permafrost to Hawaiian tropical πŸ—½. New York and Chicago have four genuine seasons, Los Angeles is mild year-round, and Miami is tropical. The short answer: spring and autumn suit most destinations perfectly.
