Destinations with a distinct off-season are seeing a growing number of travelers undeterred its periods of poor weather and, in fact, they’re drawn to it. These thrill-seeking travelers are setting out in search of storms—specifically those of the bone-chilling, house-shaking, fire-and-brimstone variety.

The rise of storm tourism has been an unexpected and perhaps counterintuitive phenomenon. When most people plan a vacation, they typically go in search of greener pastures, or at least warmer weather. But more and more places are seeing an uptick in travelers who specifically want to experience big storms at their finest.

I’m not a “storm tourist” – I prefer to be a tourist in warm places like Italy – but there is a real draw, especially from a photography point of view, to these places during storm seasons.

Being from Nova Scotia, we used to love going to Peggy’s Cove during or shortly after a storm to watch the waves crash against the rocks. Tofino, one of the destinations mentioned in the above piece, is relatively close to me. I think we might be making a trip there to see some storms.
