Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in AE as well as at Kuala Lumpur, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

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.
