Denmark records hottest day on record at 36.6C

COPENHAGEN, Jun 27: Denmark recorded its highest temperature on record on Saturday, the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) said.

"With 36.6C north of Odense, we have the warmest day ever since measurements began in 1874," DMI said in a post to X.
It added that "the day isn't over yet..."

The previous record temperature in the Scandinavian country was 36.4C, which was recorded in August 1975, according to DMI.

DMI had warned that the record could be broken as a heatwave swept over the Scandinavian country, with media showing images of Danes around the country trying to cool off at beaches. The record coincided with the opening of the Roskilde music festival, and one attendant told public broadcaster DR that dragging his luggage to the campsite was "unbearable".�" AFP
