North Jutland faces a potential heatwave, with the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) issuing a warning for several municipalities. The warning, effective until 9 p.m. Saturday, highlights the possibility of temperatures exceeding 28 degrees Celsius for the third consecutive day in certain areas.

The affected municipalities include Aalborg, Jammerbugt, Brønderslev, Hjørring, and Frederikshavn. DMI defines a heatwave as an average of the highest recorded temperatures exceeding 28 degrees Celsius over three consecutive days in a specific location.

Duty meteorologist Mette Wagner indicates that Sunday is also expected to bring temperatures above 28 degrees Celsius. The recent weather pattern has brought warm, humid air to Denmark, but North Jutland has experienced fewer clouds and less rain, contributing to the higher temperatures.

Relief is expected on Monday, as a significant rain shower is anticipated to lower temperatures. While the weather will still be summery, the rain will bring cooler air to the region.

DMI also noted that a warm spell is present in approximately 45 percent of the country. A warm spell is defined similarly to a heatwave, but the average temperature only needs to exceed 25 degrees Celsius.
