Average weather, temperature, rainfall, sunshine hours
The climate of Rønne is
Baltic, that is to say, relatively continental, with cold winters and mild to pleasantly warm summers.
The city is located on the island of
Bornholm, which lies to the east of the main islands of Denmark, and to the south-east of Sweden, and has a relatively dry and sunny microclimate.
Given the latitude (55°06'N), the
white nights, in which the sun sets but it does not get completely dark even at midnight, occur from June 9 to July 3.
Although winter is not very cold for the latitude, it is often humid, windy and rainy. Snow is quite frequent, although generally not abundant. Even in spring, until April or the first half of May, there is often cold and unstable weather.
Occasionally, there may be cold waves in winter, in which the temperature can drop below -10 °C (14 °F). During the coldest winters, the temperature dropped to -15 °C (-4 °F) in March 1987 and January 2003.
In summer, short hot periods are possible. The temperature reached 32 °C (89.5 °F) in July 1994 and 31 °C (88 °F) in August 2014.
The
average temperature of the coldest month (February) is of 0.9 °C (34 °F), that of the warmest month (July) is of 18.2 °C (65 °F). Here are the average temperatures.
