The travel year in Innlandet, 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 | 4 | 1 | -9 °C |
| February | 20 | 1 | -7 °C |
| March | 18 | 4 | -3 °C |
| April | 12 | 13 | 1 °C |
| May | 12 | 32 | 8 °C |
| June | 43 | 49 | 13 °C |
| July | 91 | 50 | 14 °C |
| August | 57 | 44 | 12 °C |
| September | 22 | 30 | 9 °C |
| October | 6 | 14 | 2 °C |
| November | 1 | 4 | -4 °C |
| December | 5 | 1 | -8 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Innlandet 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.
