The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) has lifted its “dangerous weather” warning for most of North Jutland and North Zealand as of Tuesday morning. However, the institute cautions that the risk of particularly heavy rain persists in other parts of Denmark.

Duty meteorologist Jonas Paludan at DMI explained that a large amount of rain was initially expected in North Jutland, but the weather system moved more quickly than predicted. While heavy showers are still possible, they are not expected to be as intense as in other regions.

The warning has also been removed for North Zealand. Despite this, Copenhagen still faces a risk of heavy rain during the afternoon.

Paludan noted that the warm atmosphere contributes to weather instability, making accurate predictions more challenging.

He defended DMI’s initial warning, stating that significant rainfall has occurred in various locations, justifying the alert. The localized nature of the rainfall was difficult to pinpoint due to the heat.

DMI continues to warn of category 3 rain throughout Funen, Lolland, Falster, and southern Zealand for the remainder of Tuesday.

As of noon on Tuesday, measurements indicated over 130 millimeters of rainfall on Falster.
