Best Time To Travel To: Greenland
Greenland is the largest island in the world, with most of the island being in the Arctic. Greenland has been largely autonomous since 2009 and is only administered in small parts of Denmark.
Less than a fifth of the island is free from eternal snow or ice. In the northeast, the coast is usually permanently surrounded by ice, and the east is also very often surrounded by ice. In contrast, Baffin Bay is not always surrounded by ice, even in winter. For the coasts of Greenland one could use the Godthaab climate table as a representative.
The winters on the coasts are generally long and severe, the summers are short and often cool. Rainfall is abundant in Greenland, but mostly comes down in the form of snow.
Inland it gets very cold, there the island is covered of thick ice. Thule's climate table can be used as a basis for this inner Greenland and also for the north. Here you can find an arctic climate. The thermometer rarely rises above zero during the year.
Amazingly, however, you can spend pleasant days in Greenland in summer - provided there is no wind and the sun is shining. Basically, the amount of precipitation in the phase is relatively low.
It gets most uncomfortable in Greenland when it's cold and windy at the same time. Then the temperatures appear twice as low as they actually are. Especially in winter it is very windy on Greenland and therefore extremely cold.
When is the best time for Greenland
Greenland is not for people who are looking for warm weather - that is of course clear. Nevertheless, it can be quite pleasant in Greenland in the summer. That would roughly be the time frame from May to October, which should also be the best time for Greenland. Summer is comparatively less windy than winter. Temperatures can rise to 24 ° C in July. But it stays quite cool all year round in the interior and in the north.
