April weather forecast
Greenland

In Greenland, April signifies the arrival of spring, which brings about substantial transformations in the landscape and climate. While the country remains considerably cold, temperatures in coastal areas experience an upward trend, averaging between -4°C (24.8°F) and 1°C (33.8°F). However, the inland regions continue to be characterized by icy conditions, with temperatures often remaining below -15°C (5°F).

In the capital city, Nuuk, April is a month of transition with the average temperature hovering around freezing point. Snow starts to melt, rivers begin to thaw, and the length of daylight hours extends significantly, making the days noticeably brighter. As the snow cover recedes, the city's landscape undergoes a visible change.

In Ilulissat, situated further north, April still experiences temperatures below freezing, averaging -6°C (21.2°F). Despite the chilly conditions, longer daylight hours and the receding Polar Night contribute to a sense of spring's arrival.

Compared to March, April presents warmer temperatures and extended daylight hours, contributing to the rapid melting of snow and ice. The thawing environment brings about a palpable sense of rejuvenation throughout the country. However, Greenland's spring, as represented by April, is still cooler and snowier than in many other parts of the world. The transition from April's weather to the more moderate conditions of May is particularly noteworthy, as the latter month often witnesses temperatures exceeding the freezing point, especially in the southern and coastal regions.
