Weather in Greenland is very changeable. It is usually pleasant, but it is essential that you bring appropriate clothes for rainy weather. The average temperatures you'll face in summer would be between 3.0°C and 10.0°C, with exceptional possible peaks as low as -3°C and high as 21°C. Mid-summer nights are sometimes cold.
