The travel year in Nord-Est, 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 | 7 | 11 | 0 °C |
| February | 8 | 13 | 2 °C |
| March | 7 | 25 | 5 °C |
| April | 22 | 47 | 11 °C |
| May | 34 | 68 | 15 °C |
| June | 50 | 85 | 21 °C |
| July | 77 | 81 | 23 °C |
| August | 96 | 86 | 23 °C |
| September | 48 | 75 | 18 °C |
| October | 44 | 56 | 12 °C |
| November | 25 | 27 | 6 °C |
| December | 25 | 13 | 2 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Nord-Est 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.
