Weather in January
January in
Ærøskøbing,
Denmark starts off chilly, marking the beginning of the year with a crisp cold atmosphere. It remains cold during the entire month, which is a continuous pattern followed from late autumn until this period. At a chilling 2.4°C (36.3°F), the seawater surrounds the city which reduces the overall air temperature. As the New Year arrives, one can witness the beautiful erythemal UV radiation reflected from the snow covered regions due to the treacherous weather. The colder weather also amplifies the brightness of the stars at night, something that is missed in the warmer months.
