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

The year in Boston
Boston's climate features cold winters and warm summers. It is important to dress appropriately for the season you visit, and be prepared for possible rain in spring and fall.
| Busiest |
early Jun to late Aug — Summer months attract the most tourists due to pleasant weather and outdoor activities.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Apr to late May — Spring offers enjoyable weather and fewer crowds before peak summer tourism.
early Sep to late Oct — Fall showcases beautiful foliage and milder temperatures, making it a nice time to visit.
