I've always been on the hunt for places where summer doesn't mean sweltering heat. So, let me share some spots where you can enjoy cooler weather during those hot months.

First up, San Francisco, California. You might think California equals sun and surf, but this city is different. Thanks to the fog rolling in from the Pacific, temperatures here stay pleasantly cool. Walking through the misty streets, with a light jacket on, feels almost magical in July.

Next, let's jet over to Reykjavik, Iceland. Summer here is a mild affair, with temperatures rarely climbing above 60°F. Imagine exploring geysers and waterfalls without breaking a sweat. Plus, nearly 24 hours of daylight means more time for adventures.

Lastly, Bariloche in Argentina flips the script with its Southern Hemisphere location. When it's summer in the States, this mountain town is in winter mode. Perfect for those craving a snowy escape, you can ski or just enjoy the alpine scenery.

Each of these destinations offers a unique way to beat the heat, proving summer vacations don't have to be about enduring scorching temperatures.
