But now DMI is asking itself whether there is actually a so-called 100-year event on the way.
– We expect that there may be a lot of precipitation, but be aware that the amount of precipitation and where the heavy rain will hit is still very uncertain, they write.
DMI is in the process of investigating exactly how much precipitation will fall, but in a forewarning, DMI meteorologist Anja Bodholdt writes that, in contrast to cloudbursts with short-term rain with heavy intensity, it will last for many hours – and thus also large amounts of rain during Saturday.
As it looks now, the rain will move up over Denmark on Friday evening and only let go on the night of Sunday, writes DMI.
At that time, according to the forecasts, between 20 and 50 millimeters of rain will fall in most places in the country. Locally, however, you can be so unlucky, or lucky if you love rainy weather, that up to 70 millimeters can fall.
High limit value in North Jutland
If it is to be a 100-year event, however, a lot more water is needed when we are talking regarding North Jutland.
Here, between 93 and 113 millimeters must fall per day before you can talk regarding a 100-year event. The lowest limit value in North Jutland is found in Thisted Municipality (93 millimeters per day), while the highest is found in Læsø (113 millimeters per day).
The limit values are generally lower in both Central and Southern Jutland. In Skanderborg Municipality, for example, “only” 89 millimeters are needed before a 100-year event occurs.
More realistically, it is perhaps that Saturday’s rain will bring with it a two-year event. If that happens, depending on the individual North Jutland municipality, between 42 and 46 millimeters must fall per day.
