The travel year in Świętokrzyskie, 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 | 11 | 10 | 0 °C |
| February | 30 | 12 | 2 °C |
| March | 27 | 25 | 6 °C |
| April | 34 | 50 | 11 °C |
| May | 55 | 69 | 15 °C |
| June | 72 | 76 | 21 °C |

| October | 51 | 51 | 11 °C |
| November | 38 | 24 | 5 °C |
| December | 19 | 11 | 1 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Świętokrzyskie 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.
