DENMARK AARHUS

CLIMATE Aarhus has a temperate oceanic climate and the weather is constantly influenced by major weather systems from all four ordinal directions , resulting in unstable conditions throughout the year . The city central experiences the same climatic effects as other larger cities with higher wind speeds, more fog, less precipitation and higher temperatures than the surrounding, open land.

Western winds from the Atlantic and North sea are dominant resulting in more precipitation in western Denmark. In addition, Jutland rises sufficiently in the central to lift air to higher, colder altitudes contributing to increased precipitation in eastern Jutland.

Combined, these factors make east and south Jutland comparatively wetter than other parts of the country .

SEASON Temperature varies a great deal across the seasons with a mild spring in April and May, warmer summer months from June to August, frequently rainy and windy autumn months in October and September and cooler winter months, often with frost and occasional snow, from December to March. On summer solstice, the sun rises at 04:26 and sets at 21:58, providing 17 hours 32 minutes of daylight. On winter solstice, it rises at 08:37 and sets at 15:39 with 7 hours and 2 minutes of daylight. The difference in length of days and nights between summer and winter solstices is 10 hours and 30 minutes.
