Where's hot in January?
Why be chilly when you could be chill.......ing on a sandy beach somewhere? That's our motto. Because newsflash: winter might be in full force at home (when it is not?), but there are loads of places overseas that missed that memo. Cancun? We're talking highs of 28°C 🥵 Cape Verde and Dubai? Soaring in the 20s. Grab the fam, your other half or channel your inner Jason Derulo and go solo (who needs a travel bud anyway?!) - this scorchin' bunch are ready and waiting. We've even got our fair share of cheap January holidays for all you budget-savvy peeps. We know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes - we have thought of everything 💁♀️
Weather in Cancun in January
Can you hear that? It's the sound of Cancun laughing at the absolute state of the weather at home right now. If you're sick of sniffly nose and soggy sock season (who isn't?), then a holiday to Mexico is just the thing to warm your cockles. It's prime dry season in Cancun, averaging a toasty 23°C, with...wait for it - highs of 28°C. Meaning, you can swap the 8-hour shift for 8 hours of sun (we can practically see the tan lines from here), and the sea stays at a bath-like 27°C, so you can stay snug as a bug during your dunk. Disclaimer: you won't even need your Lush bath bomb to enjoy this one.
Weather in Cape Verde in January
Holidays to Cape Verde dial up the heat big time in January, peaking at 24°C for some serious winter sun. Of course, with tropical vibes comes a tropical climate, so rain isn't totally unheard of, but before you get your coconuts in a twist - we're talking 6mm over the course of the WHOLE winter season. Which, let's be honest, is nothing to us Brits 😎 Plus, if you're into beach jollies (why else would you be here?), then Cape Verde's got plenty of places for you to flop down a towel, including the beaut Praia de Chaves with sand that's more pillowy than scratchy. You'll also still get a good 6-7 hours of sun per day, so that's PLENTY of time to dive into your beach read about all the different shades of grey 🏖️
Weather in Dubai in January
Ready for some Dubai sizzle to combat that back-home drizzle? Holidays to Dubai in January stay around the 20°C mark - and that includes the sea, so no shuddery, nervous toe-dips around here. You've got the glitz and glam of the city paired with big ol' beaches, so slap on your SPF and get stuck in. With a solid 8 hours of sun per day, you'll definitely be going home as champion of the who's got the best tan? competition in the office. And sure, this place is known for its boujee hotels and gold-topped cappuccinos, but it's also home to one of the mightiest waterparks in the world, which will go down an absolute treat with the kiddos and - OK, you caught us - the grown-ups too 🤷
