Spring back in Denmark, but for how long?

After an extended absence, warmth and sunshine is expected to return to Denmark on Monday but what everyone wants to know is whether it will remain until the national holiday on Thursday.

First the good news: Monday will bring a return of warm spring-like weather to Denmark. 
 
The bad news: just how warm it gets will vary depending on location and nowhere in the country is the nicer weather expected to stick around long. 
 
“The wind is coming from the south so we can temporarily enjoy the warmth that is south of us. But that will only be in central and southern Jutland,” broadcaster DR’s meteorologist Morten Lynge predicted. 
 
Temperatures are expected to top 20C in the southern part of the country, while the nation’s coastal regions will be plagued by hard winds that will keep temperatures down to the 13-15C range. 
 
On Zealand, meteorology institute DMI is calling for a high of 18C. 
 
Regardless of where you are in Denmark, you’d be well advised to get out and enjoy what Monday has to offer. By the time Ascension Day rolls around on Thursday, the weather will make for a cool day off.  
 
“Already tonight there will be front bringing rain and the winds will turn so that we get cooler air for the rest of the week. We’ll be back between 10-15 degrees,” DMI spokeswoman Trine Pedersen told Metroxpress. 
 
While the temperatures are expected to drop back down, DMI was only calling for rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, with things clearing off just in time for the national holiday on Thursday. Temperatures however are not expected to top 15C, so those also taking Friday off for a long weekend at the summer house are well advised to remember their jackets.

Norway to get a taste of summer with 20C days this week

Summer is finally here! Or least it is if you live in southern Norway, where a warm front coming up from Europe will bring t-shirt temperatures of 20C by Thursday, according to forecasts.

Norway to get a taste of summer with 20C days this week

Warm air from southern Europe will combine with a high pressure zone which will bring clear skies and sunshine, with summery weather coming towards the end of the week, Norway’s national weather forecaster Yr has reported. 

“Thursday and Friday especially will be nice,” Ingrid Villa, a meteorologist at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, told the public broadcaster NRK. “Then we will probably get temperatures of over 20 degrees Celsius in some places.” 

Patches of 20C warmth are expected both in western Norway around Bergen and in Western Norway around Oslo, with the area around Tromsø expected to have slightly cooler weather, although Villa said that “it will absolutely be something like summer there too”. 

The warm sunny weather is, however, expected to pass northern Norway by, with grey overcast skies expected for much of this week. 

But if you think summer has come to Norway to stay, you risk disappointment as much cooler temperatures are expected next week.  

“There’s nothing unusual in getting an early taste of summer in April and the start of May, and then we can quickly go back to cooler more spring-like weather,” Villa said.
