The climate of Helsingor (Denmark)
Helsingor is a medium-sized city located in the northeastern part of the island of Zealand in the Hovedstaden Capital region. The city is known for Kronoborg Castle where William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet is set. However, in the play the castle is called Elsinor. The play is performed here on a regular basis. This castle is a Unesco preservation site. The city is located on a landslip in the Sont, only four kilometers from the Swedish coast. The first castle was built by King Eric IV. During the following centuries the castle was rebuilt several times until it became the Renaissance castle it is today.
Helsingor has a moderate maritime climate. Because of its location in the northeast it is slightly colder here than in the more southerly located cities in Denmark. The climate of Helsingor is strongly influenced by the surrounding seas. Because of this influence extremes in weather are uncommon. However, when the Sont freezes over temperatures may drop far below freezing point.

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:
