February weather forecast
Greenland

As winter continues in Greenland, February presents an environment somewhat similar to January, though with a few subtle changes. The average temperature across the country remains frigid but shows a slight upward trend as the month progresses. Coastal areas, including cities like Nuuk and Ilulissat, continue to experience cold conditions, with temperatures averaging between -8°C (17.6°F) and -10°C (14°F). However, these coastal regions typically experience a slight reprieve compared to the harsh, often below -30°C (-22°F), temperatures of the interior ice cap regions.

In Nuuk, the conditions of February can still be challenging with temperatures commonly below freezing, but it also marks the return of increasing daylight hours. The sun begins to peek above the horizon for a longer period each day, providing a hint of the forthcoming spring.

Comparatively, Ilulissat still contends with the Polar Night early in the month, but as February advances, daylight slowly returns. The lingering darkness, however, presents the opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Northern Lights, visible on clear nights.

While February maintains the winter's cold and heavy snowfall, it distinguishes itself from January with a gradual increase in daylight hours and slightly less severe temperatures. Moreover, it contrasts with the upcoming March, which typically signals the start of the transition towards spring with further warming and extended daylight hours. The increased sunlight not only impacts temperatures but also starts to affect the landscape, with the thick snow and ice beginning to show the first signs of the melting season.
