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.

Crowd level, weather comfort and temperature in Nord-Est 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	7	10	-1 °C
February	8	13	2 °C
March	7	25	6 °C
April	22	48	11 °C
May	34	67	15 °C
June	50	76	21 °C
July	77	79	22 °C
August	96	85	23 °C
September	48	79	18 °C
October	44	56	11 °C
November	25	27	5 °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.

Nord-Est compared with Europe

How full the accommodation is here, measured against Europe – on the only measure on which two travel regions can be compared.

Bed occupancy in Nord-Est: 19.5
European median: 23.1

Furthest from the median: July, at 0.7× the value. Closest to the median: October, at 1.0× the value.

Mean across 12 months, weighted by their weeks. This occupancy compares travel regions with one another. The crowding in the table above compares Nord-Est with itself. The two measures are never combined.
