When does it get dark in HAM/CPH?
Hello. I will be spending the fall living in HAM and will be traveling around Europe as much as possible. A friend warned me that as the winter arrives, it will get dark earlier and earlier. As a result, I may try to see most of Scandanavia in September as opposed to November. My question is, in HAM or CPH, what time does it get dark (on average) around...
September 15
October 15
November 15
December 15?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I will be leaving December 20.

most common weather for CPH/GOT mid-April?
That time and date applet is great. Now I've got a semi-related questions for the Scandinavia experts.
What weather would you expect in southern Sweden/Copenhagen mid April? Still loads of snow, beginning spring, or ? Gadding about weather, or stay at home weather?
Our last experience in Malmo was mid-September, and we got sleet and freezing rain (quite the shock for these Californians!). Now we're invited to visit distant cousins next year, in a couple cities in south-east Sweden, and we're wondering if we dare go at Easter, or if we should wait 'til June. I've got a slight preference for trying April, as we could combine seeing kin with a side trip to the tulips of Holland.

Summer in Sweden is quite nice. Nothing like walking around at 11 p.m. and thinking it's 7 p.m (or trying to go to sleep at 11 p.m. and wondering if it's too early or not when you look outside).

April/easter can still bring you sunshine sometimes. The occasional day where no jacket is needed can occur, as can the days with cold rain however.

"nm"???? "mm" is millimeters.
