The Danish climate is determined by the country's position on the edge of the continent of Europe close to large sea areas and in the zone of prevailing westerlies.

This position results in cool summers with a mean temperature of around 16ºC and winters that are not particularly cold, with mean temperatures of around 0.5ºC. Denmark is thus placed in the temperate climate zone.

There is a good deal of wind, strongest in the winter and weakest in the summer. Precipitation falls throughout the year, with the greatest rainfall in September, October and November. The smallest amounts of precipitation occur in February and April. The regular distribution of precipitation throughout the year is due to Denmark's position in the belt of prevailing westerlies, where the predominant wind directions are west and southwest.

Series of low pressure systems (cyclones) moving northeastwards, often forming over Newfoundland, are the basis of the characteristically changeable weather: within a few days the weather changes typically from steady precipitation preceding a warm front to brighter or slightly misty weather, possibly still with a little drizzle in the following warmer mass of air. Finally, the passage of the cold front will produce precipitation in the form of heavy showers followed by clear weather with few clouds.
