About Nuuk

Nuuk, along with most of the population centres of Greenland, has a tundra climate. Being on the coast helps moderate temperatures somewhat, and winter temperatures are not unlike those of northern Europe or central Canada. However, unlike in those regions, summers remain quite cool. For example, in July, the warmest month of the year on average, the daily mean temperature is only7°C (45°F), with highs rarely above15°C (59°F). Autumn has the highest rainfall and snowfall, although it is fairly steady all year round.
