Month by month from Prague
No fare history on PRG–GVA 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 CZ as well as at Chamonix, 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.
