It might have felt like spring was a long time coming, but it seems that summer is already on its way.

Summer temperatures of 25°C (77°F) will come to Denmark this week, with Thursday being the warmest day, reports the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI).

“It will be a quite pleasant week in which we will experience warm weather. There will be a lot of sunshine, and on Thursday temperatures will reach 20-25 degrees,” duty meteorologist Frank Nielsen of DMI told Jyllands-Posten.

Southern Jutland will be the warmest part of the country, with temperatures potentially going even higher than the predicted 25°C in those parts, Nielsen said.

The pleasant weather can be seen right from the beginning of the week, with temperatures of up to 18°C (64°F) and isolated showers as well as sunshine Monday with, slightly warmer weather in the afternoon.

While Tuesday will feel cooler with showers in a number of places across the country, it will then begin to feel much warmer on Wednesday.

“It will be up to 20 degrees Wednesday… relative to the time of year it will be quite pleasant,” Nielsen told Jyllands-Posten.

The meteorologist did warn that eastern parts of the country might not feel quite as summery come Thursday, but that sun lotion would almost certainly be necessary in southern Jutland.

By Friday a new front will have reached the country, making weekend weather less predictable.

“We will be at around 15-20°C (59-68°F) Friday, but it is not yet certain whether the sun will be shining. The only place where the sun will definitely be out Friday is Bornholm,” Nielsen said.

Denmark records deepest snow level for 13 years

Denmark records deepest snow level for 13 years

A half-metre of snow, measured at Hald near East Jutland town Randers, is the deepest to have occurred in Denmark since January 2011, national meteorological agency DMI said.

The measurement was taken by the weather agency at 8am on Thursday.

Around 20-30 centimetres of snow was on the ground across most of northern and eastern Jutland by Thursday, as blizzards peaked resulting in significant disruptions to traffic and transport.

A much greater volume of snow fell in 2011, however, when over 100 centimetres fell on Baltic Sea island Bornholm during a post-Christmas blizzard, which saw as much as 135 centimetres on Bornholm at the end of December 2010.

With snowfall at its heaviest for over a decade, Wednesday saw a new rainfall record. The 59 millimetres which fell at Svendborg on the island of Funen was the most for a January day in Denmark since 1886. Some 9 weather stations across Funen and Bornholm measured over 50cm of rain.

DMI said that the severe weather now looks to have peaked.

“We do not expect any more weather records to be set in the next 24 hours. But we are looking at some very cold upcoming days,” DMI meteorologist and press spokesperson Herdis Damberg told news wire Ritzau.
