Nuuk has had such a mild November that early snow melted, with an average temperature of +1.9°C so far versus the normal -3.3°C, according to DMI. Colder weather with snow and frost is expected next week.

Ahead of the Lârsêraq Ski Festival in Sisimiut, organizers are still waiting for the season’s first real snow, an unusual situation linked to warming winters. The youth-focused cross-country event is set for Dec. 10–14, and may adapt if snow arrives late.

Several ski areas in Dalarna have opened, but natural snow is largely absent and temperatures remain above freezing with rain mixed with occasional snow. SVT’s meteorologist says there’s no clear sign of a cold shift before Christmas.
