Short answer

October is the rainiest month in Denmark with 83.4 mm in the 1991–2020 normal, closely followed by August with 82.1 mm and September with 74.9 mm. April is the driest month with 38.5 mm, and March (46.4 mm) and May (47.4 mm) are also dry. Winter months get 50–71 mm. Spring is therefore the driest season, and late summer and autumn the wettest.
