The travel year in Arnsberg, month by month
The year as a table to read and to cite: crowd level for every month, plus weather comfort and temperature from the climate normals.
| Month | Crowd level0–100, season-relative | Weather comfort0–100, profile “mild” | Avg temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 8 | 10 | 1 °C |
| February | 29 | 14 | 3 °C |
| March | 28 | 24 | 6 °C |
| April | 52 | 39 | 10 °C |
| May | 68 | 57 | 14 °C |
| June | 68 | 69 | 18 °C |
| July | 72 | 70 | 19 °C |
| August | 85 | 70 | 19 °C |
| September | 72 | 63 | 16 °C |
| October | 75 | 43 | 11 °C |
| November | 36 | 23 | 6 °C |
| December | 31 | 13 | 3 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Arnsberg itself, not the busiest destination in Europe. The figures say when it is quiet here — not where it is quieter than elsewhere.
Weather comfort 0–100 from the climate normals, profile “mild” – the same profile as the recommendation above, not the selection in the calendar. A “–” means the data for that month is missing.
