The travel year in Haute-Normandie, 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 | 1 | 22 | 5 °C |
| February | 11 | 26 | 7 °C |
| March | 11 | 36 | 9 °C |
| April | 33 | 52 | 12 °C |
| May | 49 | 66 | 15 °C |
| June | 56 | 75 | 19 °C |
| July | 79 | 81 | 21 °C |
| August | 95 | 81 | 20 °C |

| October | 28 | 57 | 14 °C |
| November | 13 | 36 | 9 °C |
| December | 6 | 25 | 7 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Haute-Normandie 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.
