The travel year in Östra Mellansverige, 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 | 3 | 7 | -1 °C |
| February | 7 | 9 | 0 °C |
| March | 11 | 17 | 3 °C |
| April | 19 | 37 | 8 °C |
| May | 36 | 65 | 14 °C |
| June | 52 | 76 | 19 °C |
| July | 97 | 71 | 20 °C |

| October | 18 | 39 | 9 °C |
| November | 15 | 19 | 4 °C |
| December | 6 | 9 | 0 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Östra Mellansverige 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.
