🌸 A busy month that still keeps light days!
March runs 55 days. It averages Busy; the year averages Normal — 2 levels apart — with the raw number above the yearly one.
The average alone tells you nothing about this month. 0 days (0%) land below the yearly average, the lightest day is Normal and the heaviest is Packed.
📅 Monday is the heaviest weekday!
By day of the week, Thursday averages Fairly busy and Saturday averages Busy. The 40 weekdays average Fairly busy, the 15 weekend days Busy — 1 level apart.
Rank the weekdays on their own and Monday sits on top at Busy, Thursday at the bottom at Fairly busy. The start of the week behaves like an extension of the weekend. Crowds by weekday takes that pattern apart properly.
🗻 44% of the year's peaks stand here!?
Of the 32 busiest dates in the year, 14 fall in March: 44% of them. March itself is only 8% of the year by days.
The month takes a far bigger share of the peaks than of the calendar. The average still looks ordinary only because the light days come in the same quantity. The busiest days of the year lists where those peaks stand.
🧭 Where does the month break?
Ahead of today, the quietest March date is Mar 2 (Tue) at Normal and the heaviest is Mar 21 (Sun) at Packed. The light one comes early, the heavy one late.
Only 3 of these days are public holidays, so holidays do not explain the back end. The break line falls where the school holiday starts to overlap. Spring break crowds takes that stretch on directly.
🏨 Room rates are not shaped like the crowd!
Of the 55 March days, 16 nights lean expensive and 39 lean cheap — more of the cheap kind than the other.
A heavy day in the park is not automatically a dear night. This month keeps dates where the park climbs and the rate stays put. Park crowds and room rates is where the reason belongs.
