[[File:Nuuk-30år-Vejrdata1991-2020.png|thumb|right|Climate chart of Nuuk]]
Nuuk has a maritime-influenced [[tundra climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] [[tundra climate|ET]]) with long, cold, snowy winters and short, cool summers. Although the winters in Nuuk are very cold, they are still milder than other tundra climates at similar latitudes, such as in [[Alaska]] in the United States or parts of [[Eastern Siberia]]. Instead, peak winter is similar to identical latitudes in the [[Nordic countries]]. On 21 December, the shortest day and longest night of the year, the sun rises at 11:22 am and sets at 3:28 pm. By contrast, on the longest day and shortest night of the year, 21 June, the sun rises at 3:53 am and does not set until 1:03 am, producing constant [[civil twilight]]. Nuuk can have mild temperatures on brief occasions year-round, with each month having recorded {{convert|13|C|F}} or warmer, although only June, July, August, and September have recorded what could be considered hot weather (defined as {{convert|22.5|C|F}} or higher). The monthly averages range from {{convert|-9|C|F}} to {{convert|7|C|F}}, whereas all-time extremes range from {{convert|-32.5|C|F}} on 14 January 1984 to {{convert|26.3|C|F}} on 6 July 2008. The record wind in Nuuk is 68&nbsp;km/h.

The average monthly temperature ({{convert|7.4|°C|1}} in July) is colder than what is considered the [[Tree line|limit for trees]] ({{convert|10|°C|0}} during the warmest month). There are a few planted trees<ref>e.g [https://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/8059956 Gult] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217053815/https://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/8059956 |date=17 December 2013 }} by Henrik Greve Thorsen</ref> which do not sustain well.
