In Denmark, January temperatures average between −2 °C (28 °F) and 4 °C (39 °F). [2] Denmark's coldest month, however, is February, when the mean temperature is 0 °C (32 °F). [3] The number of hours of sunlight per day does increase during the month of February for Denmark, where they get seven to eight hours a day. [4]
Scientists are drilling down 2.5km into Greenland's ice cap for ice cores dating back 80,000 years, to better understanding future climate changes [Getty Images] Some key dates in Greenland's history:
Lowest temperature in the Northern Hemisphere: −69.6 °C (−93.3 °F); Greenland Ice Sheet, Greenland on 22 December 1991. [ 197 ] Coldest average monthly temperature in the Northern Hemisphere : −54.1 °C (−65.4 °F); Oymyakon , Russia for the month of January 1931.
New research suggests the Greenland ice sheet is on track to cross a critical threshold that could cause runaway melting, but that it’s also possible the threshold will be crossed temporarily, ...
Bredefjord is a fjord in northeastern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone. Tundra climate prevails in the area of the fjord, the average annual temperature in the area being -14°C . The warmest month is July when the average temperature rises to 1°C and the coldest is January with -23°C. [1]
The climate of the ecoregion is Tundra climate (Köppen climate classification ET), a local climate in which at least one month has an average temperature high enough to melt snow (0 °C (32 °F)), but no month with an average temperature in excess of 10 °C (50 °F). [7] [8] There is less precipitation than in the south.
