The travel year in Fuerteventura, 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 | 25 | 93 | 18 °C |
| February | 45 | 92 | 18 °C |
| March | 48 | 93 | 18 °C |
| April | 36 | 96 | 20 °C |
| May | 7 | 98 | 21 °C |
| June | 25 | 98 | 22 °C |
| July | 65 | 96 | 23 °C |
| August | 92 | 94 | 24 °C |
| September | 45 | 94 | 24 °C |
| October | 57 | 96 | 23 °C |
| November | 59 | 97 | 21 °C |
| December | 57 | 93 | 19 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Fuerteventura 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.
