October weather forecast
Greenland

October in Greenland signifies the continuation of autumn and the steady approach of winter. Coastal areas experience temperatures typically ranging between -1°C (30.2°F) and 3°C (37.4°F), while the inland ice cap regions start to brace themselves for the intense winter cold, with average temperatures plunging to -20°C (-4°F).

In the capital city, Nuuk, October sees temperatures hovering around 1°C (33.8°F). As the daylight hours continue to shorten, the city begins to experience the first substantial snowfall of the season. As the month progresses, snow cover becomes more extensive, and the landscape transitions from autumnal hues to wintry whites.

Further north, in Ilulissat, average temperatures in October descend below freezing, typically around -2°C (28.4°F). The daylight hours reduce dramatically, and snow begins to transform the cityscape, providing a stark contrast to the vibrant autumn colours experienced in September.

Comparatively, October's colder temperatures and shorter daylight hours mark a clear shift from the conditions of September, moving Greenland further into the grasp of winter. Transitioning into November, these trends intensify as winter begins to take hold in earnest, bringing even colder temperatures and an increasingly snow-draped landscape. Despite the challenging conditions, October provides a chance to witness the remarkable transformation of Greenland's environment, and the darkening skies enhance the visibility of the Northern Lights.
