The travel year in Kastilien-La Mancha, 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 | 4 | 29 | 6 °C |
| February | 18 | 37 | 8 °C |
| March | 32 | 46 | 10 °C |
| April | 62 | 62 | 14 °C |
| May | 53 | 85 | 19 °C |
| June | 57 | 88 | 24 °C |
| July | 78 | 78 | 28 °C |
| August | 96 | 80 | 28 °C |

| October | 60 | 79 | 17 °C |
| November | 38 | 49 | 10 °C |
| December | 30 | 32 | 7 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Kastilien-La Mancha 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.
