All twelve months scored on daily temperature, rainfall, humidity and holiday crowding.

No fare history for this route yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only — the price column will fill in as the scanner collects.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

The year in London

| Busiest |
early Jun to late Aug — Summer months attract the most tourists due to favorable weather and school holidays.

|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Mar to late May — Spring offers mild weather and fewer crowds, making it an attractive time for visitors.
early Sep to late Nov — Fall has pleasant weather and decreasing tourist numbers, providing better value.

This section was written by a language model from the climate figures above, and nobody has checked it. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe. The busiest and quieter periods here also count toward the crowd score, which is 20% of the ranking.
