Climate Chart of Ny-Ålesund, Norway

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures are lowest in March, at -11.4 °C, and highest in July, at 4.4 °C. These figures describe monthly averages, not the daytime maximum or the conditions on any particular day, so visitors should allow for variation around the monthly mean. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is -3.8 °C. It summarizes the calendar-month averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in February, at 11.81 mm/day, and lowest in July, at 0.24 mm/day. The unweighted mean across monthly snowfall means is 7.02 mm/day. These amounts do not establish how many days receive snow, snow depth or snow cover, and cannot determine skiing conditions.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high in September, at 2.08 mm/day, and its low in March, at 0.08 mm/day. The lower monthly mean can help identify an option for visitors prioritising less average daily rainfall, but it does not guarantee dry days or indicate how frequently rain occurs. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean daily rainfall is 0.66 mm/day. These are daily mean amounts, not monthly accumulations, so they should not be read as the total rain expected during a visit.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in May, at 13.00 hours/day. For visitors planning outdoor sightseeing around average sunshine, this provides a useful monthly comparison, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The recorded monthly low is 0.00 hours/day in January / November / December. This marks the lowest mean daily sunshine duration in the supplied data; the unweighted mean across monthly sunshine means is 5.21 hours/day.

Best Travel Time Guide for Ny-Ålesund, Norway: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

If cooler monthly averages are your priority, March is the relevant reference point, with a monthly mean temperature of -11.4 °C; this is not a forecast of daytime highs or daily conditions. For a lower average-rainfall criterion, March has mean daily rainfall of 0.08 mm/day, though that figure neither guarantees dry weather nor measures rain frequency. Visitors preparing for rain can use September as the month with the highest mean daily rainfall, at 2.08 mm/day, and plan to be ready for changing conditions rather than treating the average as a prediction for each day.

For outdoor plans guided by average sunshine, May records the highest mean daily duration, at 13.00 hours/day; this does not tell you day length or guarantee sunshine on a particular date. The lowest recorded mean daily sunshine is 0.00 hours/day in January / November / December, a separate consideration when comparing daylight conditions. Snowfall averages may inform general preparation: the highest mean daily amount is 11.81 mm/day in February. This does not reveal the number of snowy days, snow depth or snow cover, so it is not enough on its own to assess winter travel or skiing conditions.
