- The amount of sunshine is not very good, at least along the coasts, but in spring and summer, the sun can come out, also because of the long days, so it can be useful to bring sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses for the vast snow-covered areas.

The times for sunrise and sunset in Greenland are significantly influenced by the high location in the northern hemisphere. Relatively high in the north, the days are long in summer (June to September) and short in winter (December to March).
The best time to visit Greenland is the summer, from June to August. In June, temperatures are a bit lower, and this could be a disadvantage for the coldest areas, but in return, it's possible to see the midnight sun in a wider area; moreover, rain and snow are a bit rarer.
In summer, the sun does not completely dip below the horizon- a polar phenomenon is known as the midnight sun. Depending on where you go, the Midnight Sun can be possible to see for a single day to more months. In Ilulissat, for example, the midnight sun appears from mid-May to late July.
The midnight sun is visible between late-April and late-August in Greenland’s northernmost towns. Closer to the Arctic Circle, the midnight sun is visible between early-June and mid-July. The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon in which the sun does not set for a matter of days or months.
Midnight sun can be experienced north of the Arctic Circle for a period lasting from a single day to five months, depending on how far north you travel. In central Greenland the sun does not set from the end of May until the end of July.
