The travel year in Estland, 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.

Crowd level, weather comfort and temperature in Estland by month – crowd score 0–100, season-relative to the region's own annual peak
Month	Crowd level0–100, season-relative	Weather comfort0–100, profile “mild”	Avg temperature
January	6	4	-4 °C
February	14	4	-3 °C
March	15	10	0 °C
April	24	26	6 °C
May	30	55	12 °C
June	57	70	17 °C
July	96	70	18 °C
August	76	67	17 °C
September	31	55	13 °C
October	29	31	7 °C
November	22	14	2 °C
December	29	6	-1 °C

The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Estland 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.

Estland compared with Europe

How full the accommodation is here, measured against Europe – on the only measure on which two travel regions can be compared.

Bed occupancy in Estland: 28.3
European median: 23.1

Furthest from the median: December, at 1.8× the value. Closest to the median: August, at 1.0× the value.

Mean across 12 months, weighted by their weeks. This occupancy compares travel regions with one another. The crowding in the table above compares Estland with itself. The two measures are never combined.
