“A cold front will pass Denmark from the west during the course of the day,” DMI said in the weather alert.
“The weather situation is currently uncertain in relation to how heavy the rain will be but it looks like there will be downpours, hail, thunder and strong winds in the northern and eastern parts of Jutland, Funen, Zealand and Bornholm,” it said.
