The travel year in Jihozápad, 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 | 2 | 12 | 1 °C |
| February | 11 | 15 | 3 °C |
| March | 8 | 27 | 6 °C |
| April | 12 | 47 | 11 °C |
| May | 26 | 64 | 15 °C |
| June | 41 | 75 | 20 °C |
| July | 96 | 73 | 21 °C |
| August | 89 | 72 | 21 °C |

| October | 16 | 51 | 11 °C |
| November | 7 | 24 | 5 °C |
| December | 4 | 13 | 2 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Jihozápad 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.
