Get ready for awesome – or maybe awesome with an asterisk. A vacation-themed website has declared Monday will be the “most perfect day of the year” in Georgia and Alabama. Tennessee’s similar superlative will come a week later, on July 25.
Making the claim is FamilyDestinationsGuide.com, which has created an interactive map to give travelers an idea of when to vacation as each state experiences its “best weather day” of 2022.
“No one wants a vacation spoiled by rain and gloomy skies,” Rose Ackermann, the site’s editor, said in a news release. “We hope our research gives people across the country the best chance of getting great weather when going on their vacations.”

The dates for each state were determined by an analysis of 36 years’ worth of weather data, according to Ackermann. Factors included the date with the most predicted sunshine and the date with the best temperature (78 degrees). Those numbers were averaged with the date of this year’s summer solstice, June 21.
