The travel year in Melilla, 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 | 7 | 66 | 13 °C |
| February | 32 | 69 | 14 °C |
| March | 37 | 71 | 15 °C |
| April | 48 | 81 | 17 °C |
| May | 56 | 93 | 20 °C |
| June | 68 | 97 | 23 °C |
| July | 48 | 92 | 25 °C |
| August | 95 | 87 | 26 °C |
| September | 87 | 91 | 24 °C |
| October | 68 | 93 | 21 °C |
| November | 57 | 83 | 17 °C |
| December | 38 | 70 | 15 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Melilla 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.
