Denmark is bracing for a period of unstable weather, with a risk of thunder, heavy rain, and local cloudbursts expected across the country starting Monday, excluding Bornholm. The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) issued an updated risk report, indicating potentially challenging weather conditions.

While not a warning, the risk report highlights the possibility of severe weather, including cloudbursts, defined as more than 15 millimeters of rain falling within 30 minutes. The uncertainty remains regarding the development of cloudbursts.

The wet weather may persist into Tuesday and Wednesday in some areas. Tuesday’s forecast indicates a risk of between 30 and 50 millimeters of rainfall within a 24-hour period.

North Jutland and North Zealand are identified as areas with the highest probability of significant rainfall, according to DMI meteorologist Mette Wagner. The forecasts currently vary regarding the total amount of precipitation expected.

The combination of warm, humid air ahead of a cold front moving into Denmark on Tuesday morning is contributing to the unstable weather. This atmospheric condition leads to the formation of large cumulonimbus clouds, which can produce showers, potentially heavy and accompanied by thunder.

DMI’s monthly forecast from July 8 suggested that week 29, starting on Monday, would likely bring several days with cloud cover and showers. Week 30 is anticipated to bring more dry and sunny weather, with precipitation amounts expected to be slightly below the seasonal norm.
