Choosing your Best Honeymoon Destination by Weather

Frost be damned, you want to go to Paris? We'd be the last person to stop you! But, we feel morally obligated to remind you that your dream destination may not be so dreamy in the dead of winter, or heat of summer.  Below, some of the most popular honeymoon destinations -- some because they enjoy relatively sublime weather year-round -- and their not so pretty seasons.

HAWAII
Best months: March to July, October and November
Worst months: Far from horrible, December and January are coolest (average afternoon temperature is 75 degrees); August and September are hottest (average 92 degrees). The wettest months are from November to March.
Note: In general, every island's northern shore gets more rain than the southern. Kaui and the Big Island's northern shores receive slightly more than other islands.

BAHAMAS
Best months: November to April
Worst months: It is hottest (up to 89 degrees on average) and rainiest from June to October

BERMUDA
Best months: May to October
Worst month: January and February

CARIBBEAN
Best months: Technically, December to May, when the area is coolest and enjoys the most wind, but average temperatures year-round hover between 78 and 88 degrees
Worst months: "Official" hurricane season runs from June to November; the worst months are August, September, and October (islands near South America -- Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Trinidad, and Tobago -- are outside the hurricane danger zone)
Note: High-altitude and coastal spots are cooled by trade winds year-round (a good salve during the hotter and more humid summer months)

EUROPE
Best months: May through September or October
Worst months: December to February

FLORIDA
Best months: March, April, October, November
Worst months: May to September
Note: The Florida Keys experience temperate Caribbean-like weather year-round.

LAS VEGAS
Best months: March, April, May, October, November
Worst months: June to September
Note: July and August are scorchers here, but at least it's a "dry" heat (humidity is very low year-round)

MEXICO
Best months: October to May
Worst months: Rainy season runs June through September, but usually only involves a short daily dousing. It is also hotter during the summer months.
Note: Coastal playgrounds and low-lying sections of the country are hotter than higher-altitude destinations such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, and the heartland "Silver Cities."

SOUTHEAST ASIA (BALI, THAILAND)
Best months: October to February
Worst months: Hottest between March and May; rainy from June to September

SOUTH PACIFIC (FIJI, FRENCH POLYNESIA)
Best months: May to October
Worst months: December to February (hot, humid, and rainy); Tahiti lies well outside the Pacific cyclone zone and while Fiji does not, it is rarely hit during the highest-risk months of January and February
