As the snow cover recedes, the city's landscape undergoes a visible change.

In Ilulissat, situated further north, April still experiences temperatures below freezing, averaging -6°C (21.2°F). Despite the chilly conditions, longer daylight hours and the receding Polar Night contribute to a sense of spring's arrival.

Compared to March, April presents warmer temperatures and extended daylight hours, contributing to the rapid melting of snow and ice. The thawing environment brings about a palpable sense of rejuvenation throughout the country. However, Greenland's spring, as represented by April, is still cooler and snowier than in many other parts of the world. The transition from April's weather to the more moderate conditions of May is particularly noteworthy, as the latter month often witnesses temperatures exceeding the freezing point, especially in the southern and coastal regions.
