ColorLine and StenaLine have cancelled all their morning ferries from Hirtshals and Frederikshavn.

Light vehicles are recommended not to cross the Great Belt Fixed Link and the Little Belt Bridge, connecting Jutland to Zealand.

According to DR, Helga has not impacted on air traffic yet.

Hurricane-strength winds
Danish meteorologists have issued an official warning for high winds of up to 37 metres per second in the northern part of Jutland.
