Denmark expects first snow and sleet showers on Thursday and Friday

Denmark could see its first snow and sleet on Thursday and Friday. Cold polar air is moving across the country this week. However, temperatures will remain above freezing. Widespread snow cover is unlikely, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute. This update comes from CPH Post.

DMI meteorologist Lars Henriksen said the weather will not last long. People do not need to bring out sleds or skis yet. The chance of wintry weather is highest in North Jutland. East Jutland and northern Zealand may also see snow showers. The colder air will arrive late Thursday and overnight into Friday.

Some showers may also bring hail and thunder on Thursday. The forecast shows that winter is quietly arriving in Denmark. Milder air will return over the weekend. November often brings the first wintry weather in Denmark. The surrounding sea keeps temperatures relatively warm near the ground. This causes snow to melt quickly after falling.
