Tuesday’s snow was mostly confined to coasts of the Kattegat sea off the east coast of Jutland, as well as in the northwestern parts of the peninsula.

These areas are the most likely to continue to see a white covering on the ground as the week continues, broadcaster DR reports.

That appears in line with the seven-day forecast from Met office DMI, which has temperatures ranging from 3 degrees Celsius to 5 below freezing during the day, and down to -8 Celsius at night over the next week.

Cold winds will continue to flow across Denmark throughout the week, with only a lower pressure front possibly changing the weather in the west of the country this weekend.

A smaller low front passing to the south of Denmark will bring snow to South Jutland and the Baltic Sea, meanwhile.

Tonight could meanwhile see more widespread and heavier snow than has fallen in the last two days.

Parts of Zealand could see some snow on Tuesday night, along with North and northeastern Jutland. Heavier weather focused around northern Germany could also mean deeper snow in the parts of Denmark close to the German land border, as well as on the islands of Lolland and Falster.

Wednesday morning brings a risk of persistent snow along with potentially icy conditions in North Jutland and the Baltic Sea, including Bornholm, Møn and Falster. A separate weather system could mean persistent snow in the southeastern trekantsområde of Jutland and western Funen.

By Thursday, over 10 centimetres of snow could fall in northwestern Jutland and on the Baltic Sea coasts.

It’s officially summer in Denmark!

The Danish Meteorological Institute has officially declared Wednesday the country's first day of summer, after a temperature of 25.2C was recorded in Stauning on the Ringkøbing fjord.

It's officially summer in Denmark!

DMI defines a summer’s day in Denmark as one where a temperature of at least 25C is recorded somewhere in the country. 

“The year’s first summer’s day is in the bag,” the institute announced on X, along with a link to temperature measurements updated in real time. “Could the temperature rise further during the afternoon?”. 

On Tuesday, Stauning came within a tenth of a degree of the summer threshold, with a temperature of 24.9C recorded. 

The earliest summer day ever recorded in Denmark came on April 17th, 1964, when the temperature reached 25.2 degrees at Klosterhede Plantage between Holstebro, Lemvig and Struer. The latest first day of summer recorded came in 2004, when Danes had to wait until July 30th before summer was declared. 

On average, the first summer’s day falls on May 23, according to TV2’s weather data from 1991 to 2020, so this year summer has come about a week early.

The first summer’s day came last year on May 22 with a measured temperature of 25.1C, and in 2022 it fell on May 18, with a temperature of 25.9C. 

Here are the current maxiumum temperatures so far recorded today:
