We really lucked out with the weather for O Days this year, as the weekend ended up being significantly warmer and drier than what Copenhagen usually sees in early August. Wednesday was the clear standout and a total scorcher; while the thermometer hit 27°C, the humidity made it feel more like a heavy 28°C, and we did have a short afternoon downpour of about 3.6mm to cut through the heat. Thursday was the absolute sweet spot for dancing, staying dry with just a tiny passing shower and a comfortable breeze that kept the air feeling like 20°C. By Friday, things took a turn for the brisk as the wind picked up significantly. Even though the air was 19°C, that Refshaleøen breeze made it feel as chilly as 12°C once the sun went down, making it proper denim jacket and hoodie weather. I hope you packed that extra layer for the late-night sets, because the transition from Wednesday’s sunburn risk to Friday’s shiver was pretty intense. Most importantly, the ground stayed solid and dry, so I hope your boots survived the dust and your spirits stayed high.

O Days is a three-day summer festival on Refshaleøen, the old shipyard island in Copenhagen's harbour. It pairs a contemporary Danish and international line-up with the island's raw industrial backdrop of hangars, cranes and open quaysides, right across the water from the city centre.
Early August in Copenhagen is peak Danish summer: daytime highs usually land between 21 and 24°C, nights settle around 14–16°C, and rain arrives as short showers rather than day-long downpours. Genuinely hot days above 28°C happen a few times a summer, and so do grey, breezy days off the Øresund.
Refshaleøen is flat, paved and completely exposed to the harbour, so wind is the factor most people underestimate — a 22°C afternoon can feel several degrees cooler once the breeze comes off the water, and evenings cool quickly after sunset. The upside is drainage: the hard industrial ground means showers leave puddles, not mud, and the hangars and covered bars give you somewhere to wait out a passing front. Pack a windproof layer for the night and sunscreen for the shadeless daytime stretches.
