Instructions:

Slide the cursor to select a month. The color of an area indicates if the climate is favorable at this time of the year.

Remark: a period is considered as “favorable” only if average temperatures are pleasant and average precipitations moderate (compared to the rest of the year). Local events (festivals, fauna observation, snow falls…) are not taken into account.
