“40mm. That's how little rain we still need to beat the record for the wettest autumn DMI has ever registered,” the state forecaster wrote on Twitter at shortly after midday on Tuesday. “52 years ago, in 1967, an average of 327mm of rainfall came down on the country. At 1pm today, we hit 27mmm for November and 287mm for autumn as a whole.”
40 mm.
Så lidt nedbør mangler der for at tangere rekorden for det vådeste efterår DMI nogensinde har registreret. For 52 år siden, i 1967, blev der på landsplan målt 327 mm nedbør. I dag kl. 13 nåede vi 27 mm nedbør for november og 287 mm for hele efteråret. pic.twitter.com/tVhCezD1en— DMI (@dmidk) November 5, 2019
The forecaster also tweeted out a map, showing southwest Jutland to be the area worst affected with more than 450mm recorded in some pockets.

The heavy rainfall has led to flooding in Vejle, and brought extremely high water to the river Gudenå between Vejle and Randers.
But the news is not all negative. The forecaster followed its downbeat tweet with another promising that after the south of the country had had to brave 36 hours of non-stop rain, it might get a glimpse of sun sometime on Wednesday afternoon.
Den sydlige og sydvestlige del af landet har gennemlevet 36 våde timer, hvor der faldet mellem 15 og 35 mm regn. ☔️Onsdag kun lokale byger og mulighed for lidt sol. ? pic.twitter.com/5PIfA5l58h
