Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in PE as well as at Copenhagen, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from July to September; quietest from December to March.

The year in Copenhagen

Copenhagen generally experiences a temperate maritime climate. It is important to check local events and weather patterns closer to your travel date.

Busiest
mid Jun to late Aug — Warm weather, long days, and school holidays attract many tourists.
Quieter, still good
early Apr to mid Jun — Mild weather and blooming spring attract visitors, but fewer crowds.
early Sep to mid Oct — Pleasant autumn weather with fewer tourists.

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
