DMI reports that six record‐high spring temperatures were set across Greenland in spring 2025, including an unprecedented average of –24.8 °C at Summit Station and a 16.9 °C high in Nuuk.
On August 14, 2021, temperatures rose above freezing on the summit of Greenland, fueling a rain event that dumped 7 billion tons of water—the heaviest since records began in 1950.
For three days this month, 7 billion tonnes of rain fell across Greenland — the largest amount since records began in 1950. It’s also the first time since then that rain, not snow, fell on Greenland’s highest peak.
With climate change fueling high temperatures across the Arctic, Greenland lost a massive amount of ice on Wednesday with enough melting to cover the U.S. state of Florida in 2 inches (5.1 centimeters) of water, scientists said. It was the third-biggest ice loss for Greenland in a single day since 1950.
The huge northern ice sheet is in the middle of its second major melt event this year, a warning sign for the planet.
Greenland's highest point is experiencing extreme weather conditions, with rainfall recorded for the first time followed by heavy snowfall from the remnants of Hurricane Larry, causing blizzard conditions and strong winds.
