It is hard to believe another Distortion has already come and gone, and looking back, we really lucked out with some lovely Copenhagen energy. Wednesday was easily the standout day of the week, offering perfect t-shirt weather that felt like a warm hug at 18°C, which was noticeably milder than our usual June averages. As the week rolled on, the air turned a bit crisper; Thursday was the trickiest day to dress for because the breeze made the 18°C thermometer reading feel more like a chilly 15°C, requiring most of us to keep our denim jackets on while dancing. We definitely saw more clouds than usual compared to a typical Danish June, and Sunday ended up being the wettest stretch with a proper short downpour that left the streets a bit slick, though nothing that a pair of sturdy boots couldn't handle. Even though the highs hovered around 19°C, the nights stayed quite mild at 15°C, which made for much better sleeping conditions in the tents than the shivering cold we often expect. If you remembered to pack a light raincoat and a layer for that Thursday wind, you were probably living your best life in the crowd. Overall, it was a slightly wetter but wonderfully warm week that felt exactly like the start of summer should.

Distortion is Copenhagen's citywide street festival, taking over squares and neighbourhoods for five days each June with sound systems, block parties and club nights. Rådhuspladsen and Vesterbro host the daytime street parties before the crowd moves on to venues and the harbour-side finale.
Early June in Copenhagen is fresh early summer: highs usually 18–21°C, nights around 10–12°C, long daylight until well past 10pm, and showers that blow through quickly rather than settling in. Warm spells above 25°C happen, but so do grey, windy days off the Øresund.
Distortion happens on asphalt, so rain means puddles and slippery streets rather than mud, and there is almost nowhere to shelter between parties. The bigger factor is the evening drop: daytime street parties can feel summery while the same night on the harbour front is single-digit cold with wind. A light waterproof shell and a warm layer you can tie round your waist cover almost every Distortion day.
