A new trend towards holidaymakers taking their trips to the sun earlier the year to avoid brutal mid-summer heatwaves is revealed in new research today.
Londoners are leading the charge towards the less ferociously hot months of late Spring and early summer, according to the data from AllClear Travel Insurance.
It found that 18% of Londoners are taking taking an overseas break in May – compared with a national average of 13% – and 20% in June, against a national average of 15%.
There is also a trend towards holidays in the early Autumn with the proportion considering a break in September rising from 14% in 2024 to 20% this year while planned October holidays are up from 8% to 13%.
Our family has been doing this for a few years.
It’s simply too hot in Europe in August and I don’t want to ruin a holiday with sunburnt kids and a beach that’s scalding hot.
I much prefer 2 week long breaks if we can afford it.
