Meteorology

Wind from southeast

True summer arrives only when the

wind comes from the southeast. The

air we get here is heated over the

Eastern European continent.
However, the air contains many

pollutants, both from the Eastern

European plains and industrial areas.

If high pressure is located southeast

of Denmark, it will block low pressure

systems from the west, and we may

have a longer period of good weather. The high pressure will be stationary.

In summary: very warm, dry air – hazy (dry mist), usually cloudless, with

warming possibly hindered by dust in the air, and high temperatures.

Weather forecast

We will have sunny weather with high temperatures between 25 and 30°C,

locally perhaps up to 33°C. The wind will be light to moderate from the

southeast.

3.7.2.2 Winter weather

Wind from the west

Wind from the west also occurs in

winter when low-pressure systems

move from northern Scotland into

North Scandinavia.

This brings damp, moist, and mild

air into Denmark. Advection of

warm air, as it would be called in a

VMC forecast. Since the ground is

usually cool at this time of year, fog and possibly drizzle will form. Temperatures

will be nearly the same day and night.
