Get ready for a wet and windy end to 2022

The last week of 2022 will mostly be windy and wet, according to on-duty meteorologist Anna Christiansson at the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI).

“Next week, it will be windy, and it will rain. Maybe there will be sleet in some places, but it will still be quite mild during the coming week,” Christiansson said.

Daytime temperatures will be between three and eight degrees Celsius.

Locally, there may be light night frost.

“The week will start with cloudy, hazy and partly foggy weather. There will be periods of rain. The temperatures will be between five and eight degrees,” the on-duty meteorologist noted.

“After that, we have a cold front which will come in from the west with rain. It will cause the wind to turn to the west and northwest.

The wind will then increase and turn into strong gusts with the force of a gale or storm.

Some sunny weather on Tuesday

On Tuesday, there may be a chance of some sun and only a few showers with rain, maybe sleet. In the afternoon, however, it will become more cloudy.

The temperatures will be between four and seven degrees.

During the night to Wednesday, the temperature may drop to one degree.

“It is going to be windy and rainy for the rest of the week, but with the possibility of seeing a bit of sun on some days.

“The forecast can change, but for now, it seems that there is a possibility of seeing the sun on Thursday,” Christiansson concluded.

Heatwave alert issued for Copenhagen area in hot start to September

Soaring temperatures in the Copenhagen area in the coming days have prompted Danish meteorological agency DMI to issue a heatwave alert.

Heatwave alert issued for Copenhagen area in hot start to September

Denmark’s met office DMI has issued a heatwave alert to parts of the capital region including the municipalities of Copenhagen, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Furesø, Høje Taastrup, and Ishøj.

A heatwave is defined as  three consecutive days on which the average of the highest temperatures each day exceeds 28 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures of just over 29 degrees Celsius were recorded in Frederiksberg on Wednesday DMI meteorologist Jesper Eriksen said to newswire Ritzau.

“We expect temperatures in the capital region over the next few days to reach similar levels – plus or minus one to two degrees,” he said.

“That means the heatwave we’re alerting is a very marginal one, but it is unusual for it to be this warm in early September. So I advise people to drink extra water and stay in the shade,” he said.

Heatwaves can cause discomfort and a risk of heatstroke.

Elderly people and small children are most at risk, as are people exposed to dehydration, intense exercise or physical labour.

DMI uses three categories of weather alert, with category 3 the most dangerous.

The current heatwave alert is category 2 or “hazardous” weather (farligt vejr in Danish), meaning the weather can affect your surroundings and outdoor activities.

Copenhagen will not be the only part of Denmark to feel the early September heat, with temperatures elsewhere in the country ranging between 22 and 27 degrees Celsius.

“This is heat that has locked itself over a large part of Europe, with Denmark situated in a warm air pocket,” Eriksen explained.

“Our best guess is that the hot weather will continue until Sunday, so we might extend the alert. But next week will bring a shift to more classic autumn weather with rain, showers, and falling temperatures,” he said.
