Summer in sight? Weather heating up big time next week

Temperatures expected to surpass 20 degrees next week

It’s been a long winter. And even now, when pearls of sunshine do eventually creep out from the cloud cover and beckon the Danes to strip off layers of coats and scarfs, a brisk wind swiftly lays waste to those yearnings.

A massive high-pressure system is set to move across northeastern Europe in the next few days, leading to temperatures in the 20s next week.

Denmark will most likely need to endure a wet Saturday, but then things will shape up.

Temperatures are expected to sniff around 20 degrees on Sunday, and then over the early stages of next week we will see plenty of sunshine as temperatures climb up to around 22 degrees – at least according to TV2 Weather.
