Best Time To Travel To: Denmark

Denmark borders to Germany and Sweden and includes the autonomous regions of Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Denmark shows less climatic differences regionally, as Denmark has a relatively small latitude of only 3 ° and the country is comparatively flat.

Overall, Denmark is quite cool and has a lot of rainfall. It rains an average of 150 days (about 30 days of which turn into snowfall), Copenhagen even has 159 days of precipitation. Copenhagen has an average temperature of 7 - 8 ° C per year, the rest of Denmark between 6.5 - 8 ° C. Aero, Falster, Langeland and Lolland are the warmest areas. Jutland is the coldest region, with the coasts generally around 0.5 - 1 ° C warmer. But temperatures are also rising globally in Denmark, similar to Germany. Summers with little rainfall and temperatures of up to 30 ° C are becoming more and more common

It always gets really cold in Denmark when parts of the Baltic Sea are icy. Then it is cold and wintry for a relatively long time. Normally, however, you hardly have to expect snow for more than an average of 30 days (rather less). The summers are changeable. The weather can change from day to day in summer, and there are significant differences even when comparing different years. Basically, however, the summer can be very friendly. It rarely gets hot, but on the other hand it doesn't get excessively warm either.

There is precipitation all year round, with summer and autumn being the wettest seasons. The west coast is a little more rainy than the east coast.

Depending on the situation, Denmark can also be hit by violent Atlantic storms. Here the west coast in particular is seen as exposed. The storms can theoretically always appear, although the risk is said to be lower in summer. A well-known phenomenon is the Skai sea breeze, which blows fine sand inland on the west coast of Jutland. Another interesting phenomenon is the Havguse, a fog that arises in the evening in summer and then moves towards the coast and disappears.

The climate table of Fanø can be described as typical for the west coast, that of Copenhagen for the east.
