Abnormal dryness expected in Denmark for the remainder of January compared to typical weather conditions.
Winter Weather in Denmark by Michael Barrett Save* Add a comment
Looking ahead to the second half of January, a high-pressure weather system might spell dry days for Denmark.
Forecast ahead
If you remember last January in Denmark, snow might be the first thing on your mind. This year has been wet and chilly, but with minimal snowfall, and a spell of dry weather appears to be on the horizon according to predictions.
Up until now, the first eight days of the month saw considerable rain and snow, but Denmark has been mostly dry since then, and the trend is expected to continue.
European weather forecast models suggest only minimal precipitation of 4-5 millimeters between now and the end of the month, as reported by Danish broadcaster DR.
The outlook is most reliable for the coming week, as it shows almost completely dry weather due to a stable high-pressure front over central Europe.
DR cites European weather forecast (ECMWF) and American forecast (GFS), noting that the two models agree on next week's weather but diverge in the longer term, with the American model suggesting some precipitation is possible.
Temperature drops coming
Both models anticipate a temperature drop by the end of next week, possibly resulting in more snow, depending on the outcome of the American forecast.
Denmark typically receives 65.3 millimeters of precipitation in January, based on current average climate values.
So far this year, Denmark has seen 57 millimeters as of January 15th, meaning that January 2025 is likely to be fairly typical in terms of total precipitation.
More insight on winter weather patterns
While I couldn't find specific weather forecasts for the second half of January 2025 in Denmark, I can offer some general insights about winter weather patterns in Denmark.
- Temperature: January is typically one of the coldest months, with average highs around 2-4°C (36-39°F) and lows around 0-2°C (32-36°F).
- Precipitation: Winter months can be relatively wet, with January often seeing significant rainfall or light snowfall.
- High-Pressure Systems: High-pressure systems usually bring clear skies and dry conditions, and might reduce the likelihood of significant precipitation.
- Michael Barrett, from Copenhagen, writes about the weather forecast for the second half of January 2025, agreeing that high-pressure systems might bring dry days and clear skies, potentially reducing the likelihood of significant precipitation.
- In terms of temperature, January in Denmark is generally cold, with average highs around 2-4°C and lows around 0-2°C, making it one of the coldest months.
- Regarding precipitation, winter months can be relatively wet in Denmark, with January often experiencing significant rainfall or light snowfall.
- The science of environmental-science and weather prediction suggest that winter weather patterns in Denmark can vary greatly, but high-pressure systems, when present, can significantly impact the weather, potentially bringing dry conditions.
- While no specific weather forecasts for the second half of January 2025 in Denmark have been identified, the news in 2025 might report on the impact of high-pressure systems on the country's winter weather, potentially influencing the artists of that time to create works of art inspired by the space and silence brought by the clear skies and dry conditions.
