The wind is most often from the south for 4. The wind is most often from the north for 7. Nuuk is located near a large body of water e. This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water. The average water temperature experiences some seasonal variation over the course of the year. The time of year with warmer water lasts for 2. The time of year with cooler water lasts for 4.
To characterize how pleasant the weather is in Nuuk throughout the year, we compute two travel scores. Based on this score, the best time of year to visit Nuuk for general outdoor tourist activities is from mid July to early August , with a peak score in the third week of July. For each hour between AM and PM of each day in the analysis period to , independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation.
Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed. Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies. Our precipitation score , which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0.
The growing season in Nuuk typically lasts for 3. Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents.
Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The average daily incident shortwave solar energy experiences extreme seasonal variation over the course of the year. The brighter period of the year lasts for 2. The brightest month of the year in Nuuk is June , with an average of 5. The darker period of the year lasts for 4. The darkest month of the year in Nuuk is December , with an average of 0. For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Nuuk are The topography within 2 miles of Nuuk contains very significant variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of feet and an average elevation above sea level of 54 feet.
Within 10 miles contains very significant variations in elevation 3, feet. Within 50 miles also contains extreme variations in elevation 5, feet. This report illustrates the typical weather in Nuuk, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, to December 31, Nuuk is further than kilometers from the nearest reliable weather station, so the weather-related data on this page were taken entirely from NASA's MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis.
This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a kilometer grid. The temperature and dew point estimates are corrected for the difference between the reference elevation of the MERRA-2 grid cell and the elevation of Nuuk, according to the International Standard Atmosphere.
All data relating to the Sun's position e. Names, locations, and time zones of places and some airports come from the GeoNames Geographical Database.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: 1 are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, 2 are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and 3 have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

The table shows mean temperatures in most of the towns in Greenland measured in degrees Celsius. As these are hour mean temperatures, the average daytime temperature will be a little higher, whilst the average nighttime temperatures will be a little lower.
The weather can change suddenly and vary greatly over short distances. Generally-speaking it is not that windy in Greenland. Many days are completely calm with calm seas and glassy fjords and lakes. All in all, however, it is unusual for strong winds to be a problem for guests that are visiting Greenland during the summer or for brief periods only.
During the winter the wind can increase the effect of the cold. This is what is known as the chill factor or wind chill factor. Suitable clothing is in fact the key, because it is a truism that there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing! Greenland is not completely devoid of rain, but heavy rain is rare. Rainfall levels are generally a little higher in the south than in the north.
For example, Nanortalik in the south has mm 35 inches of rain a year, whilst Upernavik in the north averages just mm 8 inches of rain a year. Quantities of snow also vary locally, but it is not unusual to see large amounts of snow in many towns from December to March. Enquire in advance at your local travel agency if you are planning to go skiing or dog sledding.
The best months for dogsled driving are from February to April. Read more about climate change in Greenland. It broke off the ice shelf in East Greenland, and because of the ocean currents, took what many might think is a strange route down, left and up when looking at the map! Fly fishing in Greenland is a short but exciting season. Nearly unattractive for tourists are the cold months from November to April.
Water temperature. Temperature records of the last 72 years The hottest temperature measured from to June was reported by the Narsarsuaq weather station. In August the record temperature of The hottest summer from July to September, based on all 13 weather stations in Greenland , was recorded in with an average temperature of 6.
This average temperature will normally be measured every 4 to 6 hours, thus also including the nights. Normally, this value is 4. The average maximum daily temperature at that time was
