The climate of Silkeborg (Denmark)
Silkeborg is a large city located in Arhus province on Jutland
Peninsula. The city is located in Silkeborg municipality and forms
an important railroad junction. It is an old city which was founded
after Silkeborg Castle was built here in the 15th century. During
the 19th century the city became an important trade center. During
the industrial revolution at the beginning of the 20th century the
city expanded at an incredible speed. The city is known for the
naturally mummified corpse of the Tollund Man which is about
2,300-2,400 years old and can be admired in Silkeborg Museum. The
Gudenaen River, which is the longest river in Denmark flows along
the city. Silkeborg has a moderate maritime climate influenced by

Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). During the winter average daytime
temperatures are just above freezing point. During the night

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:
