May
May in Copenhagen is the official start of Spring. The May-traveler is likely to get eight hours of sunlight per day throughout the month. With temperatures consistently rising into the mid º60s, there’s little wonder that every May sees a terrific infusion of tourism into the grand old capital of Denmark.
You’ll want a good light jacket and plenty of long-sleeved shirts if you’re planning on a May visit to Copenhagen. The brave will bring along their swimsuits to test the waters of the surrounding Baltic and North seas. Temperatures get above º60 (F) about half the month, but nights are still cool, so if you’re out on the town, it’s a good idea to wear layers you can easily peel off and put back on. With Spring, however, comes a bit more drizzling rain to Copenhagen. Having an umbrella handy will serve the smart traveler well.
The average high temperature in a Copenhagen May is º60 (F)/º15 (C). The average lows are º45/º7, with the overall average temperature at º53/º11. Every May in Copenhagen there are an average of four days above º70 (F), two days with thunderstorms and 16 days with fog.
