🍂 November runs above the yearly average!
November has 60 days. It averages Fairly busy against Normal for the year, 1 level apart. The average itself sits above the yearly line.
By level the month spreads across 3 bands, and the lightest of them (Normal) takes only 38%. Just 1 day came in below the yearly average. "Autumn is the quiet season" does not survive November.
🏆 8 of the year's 32 peak days sit in November!?
8 of the 32 busiest days in the year land in November, 25% of them. November is only 8% of the days we cover.
The month takes far more of the peaks than of the calendar. Ahead of today the busiest is Nov 7 (Sat) at Busy, the quietest Nov 23 (Mon) at Normal. The year's busiest days shows where the rest of them fall.
🎌 Is it the public holidays?
November has 4 public holidays. That is all of them, and the month still carries 8 of the year's peaks. Holidays are not what builds the pile.
The heaviest working day is Monday at Busy, and there are 10 of them. 4 holidays cannot lift an average that far.
Drop the holidays and count again: Monday does not fall. The heaviest weekday outranks Sunday. Crowds by weekday takes it from there.
📅 Thursday to Saturday: 2 levels apart!
Thursday averages Normal and Saturday averages Busy — 2 levels apart inside one month.
The 43 weekdays average Fairly busy; the 17 weekend days Busy, 1 level apart. Same November, different level, just by moving the weekday.
Quietest first: Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday. Changing the weekday beats changing the month. How the months compare ranks them; Park crowds and room rates handles the price side.
