Eastern Denmark is bracing for potential cloudbursts and heavy rain, with the risk extending into Monday noon. The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) has issued a risk message highlighting the South Funen Archipelago, Lolland-Falster, and Zealand as areas particularly vulnerable to local cloudbursts.

The Copenhagen area could also be affected. According to duty meteorologist Lars Henriksen, these intense weather events can develop rapidly and unpredictably, making it difficult to pinpoint specific high-risk locations.

Earlier on Sunday, the village of Abed on Lolland experienced significant rainfall, with 5.9 millimeters recorded in just ten minutes. Later in the evening, the Helsingør area was also experiencing heavy showers with cloudburst intensity.

In addition to cloudbursts, which are defined as at least 15 millimeters of rain falling in 30 minutes, there is also a risk of heavy rain, meaning more than 24 millimeters falling in six hours.

A weather system is approaching Copenhagen from the southwest and is expected to culminate late in the evening and tonight. While there has been no thunder accompanying the rain thus far, meteorologists say it could easily develop.
