How we built this

For each track we sampled six full years (2019–2024) of daily temperature and precipitation from the Open-Meteo ERA5 archive at the track’s exact coordinates, then derived the warm-and-dry “best” months and the wettest mud-risk months. It’s a long-run climate guide, not a forecast — always confirm current conditions and hours with the track before you load up.
