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

No month stands out as busy; quietest in April and September.

The year in Chennai

Chennai has intense heat from March to May; plan indoor activities during this time. The northeastern monsoon from June to November can cause heavy rainfall and should be considered for travel plans.

Busiest	early Nov to mid Dec — The northeastern monsoon brings moderate rainfall but also cooler temperatures, making it a popular time for tourists.
Quieter, still good	mid Sep to late Oct — Transition period with fewer crowds and decent weather as the rains start to taper off. mid Dec to late Feb — Post-monsoon cool and pleasant weather attracts a moderate number of visitors.
Wet or stormy	early Jun to late Sep — monsoon, moderate early Oct to late Oct — monsoon, severe
Watch out for	extreme heat
