The travel year in Korfu, 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.

Crowd level, weather comfort and temperature in Korfu by month – crowd score 0–100, season-relative to the region's own annual peak
Month	Crowd level0–100, season-relative	Weather comfort0–100, profile “mild”	Avg temperature
January	0	49	13 °C
February	0	53	13 °C
March	0	61	14 °C
April	11	75	16 °C

September	71	79	24 °C
October	23	76	21 °C
November	3	58	18 °C
December	1	53	15 °C

The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Korfu 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.
