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.
| Month | Crowd level0–100, season-relative | Weather comfort0–100, profile “mild” | Avg temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 6 | 5 | -3 °C |
| February | 14 | 5 | -3 °C |
| March | 15 | 11 | 0 °C |
| April | 24 | 28 | 6 °C |
| May | 30 | 57 | 12 °C |
| June | 57 | 72 | 17 °C |
| July | 96 | 71 | 19 °C |
| August | 76 | 68 | 17 °C |
| September | 31 | 58 | 13 °C |
| October | 29 | 34 | 8 °C |
| November | 22 | 15 | 3 °C |
| December | 29 | 6 | -2 °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.
