Weather-Aware Seasonality

Not every destination peaks in summer. Each of our 700+ destinations has month-by-month attractiveness data reflecting real weather patterns — monsoons, dry seasons, extreme heat, typhoons, and polar winters.

Demand follows the weather

Bali empties during monsoon season (November–March). Innsbruck fills up when snow falls (December–March). Barcelona's beaches peak in summer. Our model assigns each destination a set of "peak months" and computes an attractiveness factor that drives the crowdedness score up or down throughout the year.

The attractiveness model

Each destination's peak months are defined based on real climate data. The model then applies three tiers of demand:

100%

Peak Months

Full demand during the best weather window

25%

Shoulder Months

Reduced demand in months adjacent to peak

5%

Off-Season

Minimal demand during adverse weather

Key insight

This 3-tier model means a beach destination like Barcelona sees a 20x demand swing between July (100%) and January (5%). This directly affects the crowdedness score — the same destination can go from "Packed" to "Quiet" depending on the month.
