The best time to go to Upernavik is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight is continuous.
During this period, temperatures are at their highest, typically ranging from 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F), making outdoor activities more pleasant. The midnight sun provides 24 hours of daylight, which is ideal for extended excursions like boat trips to explore the icebergs and surrounding islands, or hiking on the tundra. This season is particularly good for travelers interested in wildlife viewing, as many bird species return to breed and marine life is more active.
For travelers interested in dog sledding or witnessing the Northern Lights, the winter months from February to April offer a great experience. While colder, with temperatures often below freezing, the clarity of the skies and the snow-covered landscape create a dramatic setting.
