Copenhagen weather at a glance

• Copenhagen is heavily influenced by the sea, so **wind and damp chill** often matter more than the raw temperature.
• Winter (Dec–Feb) isn’t always deeply freezing, but wind + rain can feel very cold; snow varies by year.
• Spring (Mar–May) warms slowly. By May, walking and cycling are much easier, though wind remains a factor.
• Summer (Jun–Aug) is typically **mild to warm** rather than hot—great for outdoor cafés, but evenings can cool with waterfront breeze.
• Autumn (Sep–Nov) starts comfortably in September, then becomes windier and wetter into November.
