The storm Otto is set to give northern Jutland a good go of it this evening, with meteorologists predicting hurricane-force winds and flooding potential.
And while Copenhagen is predicted to miss out on the weather shenanigans, residents are encouraged to keep an eye out on developments.
One aspect that will be impacted is train travel, as national rail operator DSB has warned that it will run at a reduced timetable with winds expected to reach upwards of 30 m/s.
After 17:00, trains will run at reduced frequency and lower speeds due to safety precautions. This is expected to lead to extended travel times.

The stern winds are expected to hit Copenhagen around 18:00 and continue until after midnight before subsiding.
