Still warm, wettest summer month
Copenhagen in August offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 71°F and comfortable lows near 56°F. August sees roughly 14 rainy days, so waterproof layers and flexible plans are wise. Showers are often short-lived but can be intense. Still warm, wettest summer month.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Copenhagen, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
