Short answer

To see where it is snowing now, use the radar on dmi.dk/radar and the measurements for the latest 24 hours under dmi.dk/vejrdata/maalinger. The weather map on dmi.dk/vejrkort with the "Lufttryk og nedbør" layer shows snow on its way up to 48 hours ahead. Warnings for heavy snow, snowstorms and drifting snow appear on dmi.dk/varsler and in the free DMI Vejr app for iPhone and Android. For road conditions, the Danish Road Directorate runs a live traffic map at trafikkort.vejdirektoratet.dk.

Weather and seasons

Why

  1. Radar shows precipitation as it falls, place by place.
  2. Warnings come up to 24 hours before winter weather hits.
  3. After the snow, the DMI weather archive shows how much fell.

Details

A snowstorm warning means more than 10 cm of snow in 6 hours with a mean wind above 10 m/s.

Tip

Save your town as a favourite in the DMI app to get the local forecast in one tap.

What may differ

Snow can melt within hours, so what you see in the morning may be gone by afternoon.

Common misconception

If it snows in one part of Denmark, it snows everywhere.

What actually happens

Snow is often patchy: even in the white Christmas of 2009, Copenhagen, Skagen and the east coast of Falster had none.
