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.

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.

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.
