What Countries Are Hot In January?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The ones that are not too far from the equator, especially the ones a bit south of the equator.  Plus, within the country, only places relatively near to sea level will be hot.  Up high in the mountains (think Kilamanjaro) it's quite cool, even in mid-summer.

    Then there are a few places, such as the Sahara desert, which will be hot in the day but cold at night (in January).

    In terms of places on the beaten tourist trail, try:

    Australia,
    New Zealand (North Island)
    Papua New Guinea
    Indoneasia
    Bali
    Malaysia
    Maldives
    Sri Lanka
    Thailand
    Cambodia
    Vietnam
    Lowland India
    Ethiopia (away from the mountains, and allowing for cold nights in the deserts)
    Kenya
    Nigeria
    South Africa
    Venezuela
    Brazil

    If you just want somewhere that will have decent weather in January and not too far to travel from Britain, most people are satisfied with the Mediterranean Islands, such as Majorca, Corfu and Malta.  Or a bit further afield, Canary Islands and Turkey.

    May I also recommend West Cork, Ireland. Situated in the couthern corner of Ireland, this is one of the warmest parts of the country at this time of year, primarily due to its extreme southern location, situating it closer to the equator than the rest of the country. This makes it an idyllic destination for travellers looking for a hot location during the otherwise cold months of the year.

      West Cork, Ireland is a popular tourist resort in January and the early months of the year. Due to its southern location, it is situated much closer to the equator than the rest of Ireland and is as such the warmest part of the country during these months.
