What constitutes “the best weather” may be due to your personal preferences. Some people favor warmer weather, while others may prefer cooler temperatures. Would you rather year-round sunshine, sun and snow, or four climatic seasons?

The countries on this list have climates that range from hot, cold, humid and rainy. For instance, if you’re looking for a country with mostly sunny days, visit Portugal. Head to New Zealand for a temperate climate, and Nepal for weather that ranges from tropical to arctic.

Whether you would rather soak up the sun on a gorgeous beach in Costa Rica, go wildlife viewing in Argentina or go skiing in France, you may find that your “best weather” country is on this list.

With the help from InterNations Expat Insider report, which surveyed over 14,000 people living in 195 different countries about the weather where they live, I have complied a list of the countries that have the best weather in the world.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica has a year-round tropical climate, and the waters located along the countries beaches are comfortably warm. It’s a perfect anytime vacation getaway. The dry months, December through April is the best time to visit.

Due to its geographical position, Greece maintains warm summers and mild winters. The summers usually last about 300 days out of the year, they are full of sunshine, and rarely will you see rainfall.
