When are crowds lowest in Trabzon?

Search-interest seasonality (Google Trends 2021-2025) is lowest in January and peaks in August. Interest tracks both in-trip visitors and lead-time planners, so treat it as a "destination is on people's minds" signal rather than literal arrivals.

Which months in Trabzon have good weather but fewer tourists?

April (climate 7/10, crowd index 7) and May (climate 7/10, crowd index 11) — shoulder months with above-average climate and below-median search-interest. Often the best value-for-weather trade.

How high can UV get in Trabzon on the sunniest days?

Most days look like the monthly average, but on the sunniest ~1 in 10 days UV climbs higher than the mean suggests.

Months where the sunniest days routinely exceed the typical reading: February, April, May, June, July, August, September, October. Plan sun protection for the worst case, not the average.

PM2.5 (fine-particle pollution) exceeds the WHO sensitive-group guideline (15 µg/m³) in 1 month: December. The worst month is March with a typical-day mean of 10 µg/m³ (moderate); on the worst 10% of days PM2.5 reaches 15 µg/m³ (moderate) and higher. People with asthma, heart conditions, or sensitive children may want to avoid these months or limit outdoor activity. Source: CAMS via Open-Meteo.
