The British weather can be a little dull and depressing at times no doubt, which is why you might want to jump on the next plane to a sunny destination.
Thankfully, there are some holiday spots that offer glorious sunshine twelve months of the year, so you’ll be a plane ride away from the sizzling spot in spring or winter.
If you’re looking for a destination to visit each season, check out the six best places for year-round sunshine.
1. Lanzarote, Spain
As Lanzarote boasts year-round sunshine, you’ll never be disappointed when taking a trip to this beautiful island, which is located off the west coast of Africa and is heated by the Sahara Desert. However, you don’t need to worry about overheating, as the gentle breeze will help to cool you down when lounging on a beach, relaxing by the pool or walking along the atmospheric strip.
With more bars and restaurants than you can squeeze into one visit, Lanzarote holidays are ideal for a getaway with friends and/or family.
2. India
There are a million and one reasons to visit India – and one of them is the warm climate. While the climate differs from coast to coast due to the nation’s large size, you can expect high temperatures when visiting India at any point in the year.
While summer might only last from March to May, temperatures very rarely drop below 20°C (68°F) throughout the year. If, however, you’re looking for a stronger average temperature, make your way up north to the capital of New Delhi, which reaches an average annual temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) to 25°C (77°F).
So, there is no bad time to jump on a flight to experience India’s world-famous landmarks, delicious cuisine, friendly locals, and attractive beaches.

The hottest month on the calendar is January, which enjoys an average temperature of 27°C (81°F) and even the coldest month of July commonly reaches 21°C (69°F).
