Climate Overview

Denmark is located between the North and Baltic Seas at the latitude of Schleswig-Holstein — accordingly, the climate is maritime: mild winters, cool summers, lots of wind, and plenty of rain. The temperature fluctuations between the seasons are moderate, but the wind is the determining factor, especially on the west coast.

Region	Summer (Jun–Aug)	Winter (Dec–Feb)	Special Feature
Copenhagen & Zealand	17–23°C	0 to 4°C	Mildest climate, sheltered Baltic Sea location
West Jutland (North Sea)	15–20°C	0 to 3°C	Windy, wild, dramatic weather changes
East Jutland & Funen	16–22°C	0 to 3°C	More sheltered locations, less wind
Bornholm	17–22°C	0 to 3°C	Most sunshine hours, microclimate

Daylight varies significantly: In December, Copenhagen has only 7 hours of daylight, with the sun setting at 3:45 PM. In June, however, it hardly gets dark — the sun sets around 10:00 PM and rises again at 4:30 AM, with bright twilight in between. The white nights in June and July are magical.
