The year as a table to read and to cite: crowd level for every month, plus weather comfort and temperature from the climate normals.

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