No fare history on FCO–SIR yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in IT as well as at Zermatt, 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.

How busy it gets

Busiest in January, August and December; quietest in March, April, May and October.
