The climate of Funen (Denmark)
Funen is the second largest island in Denmark and is located between
the Jutland Peninsula and the island of Zealand. The island is
connected with the Danish mainland by a number of bridges and
tunnels. If you travel from the European mainland to Copenhagen you
will always travel via Funen. The largest city on the island is
Odense. In the vicinity of the city several attractions are situated
such as the Odense Zoo and Den Fynske Landsby open air museum. In
Odense Hans Christian Andersen museum is situated. This fairy tale
writer was born on the island. Funen has a moderate maritime climate
strongly influenced by the sea. Because of this extremes in
temperatures are uncommon. However, when the sea freezes over
temperatures may drop far below freezing point. Precipitation is
quite evenly spread out over the year. Annual precipitation figures
are average by Danish standards.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
