Warmest January Ever on Greenland’s West Coast – 109-Year-Old Record Broken

Nuuk, Greenland, Denmark

DMI reports that January 2026 was the warmest January ever measured in Nuuk and across Greenland’s west coast, with Nuuk averaging 0.1°C—7.8°C above the 1991–2020 normal—and a peak of 11.3°C. Similar monthly temperature records were set in other towns, including Ilulissat, contributing to snow shortages and disruptions such as the Nuuk ski lift being idle.
