A total of 105.3 millimetres of rain has fallen in Denmark so far this month, and the soggy July days are probably not over yet.
Some 105.3 millimetres of rain have fallen across Denmark so far this month as of Wednesday, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI).
The high total means July could end up ranking among the ten wettest ever recorded in the Nordic country.
Tenth place on the list of the wettest ever Julys measured by DMI is shared by 1880 and 2002, both with 111.0 millimetres of rain.
With a further 7 to 8 millimetres forecast by the end of Thursday, the total for 2025 has a good chance of exceeding that figure and to become one of the ten wettest months of July.
Number nine on the list is currently 2011, when 113.1 millimetres poured over the country.
The rainiest July ever in Denmark was two years ago in 2023, when 141.2 millimetres of rain fell nationwide. July 2024 is also in the top ten, with 114.3 millimetres placing it at number eight.
The national average for this July could be pushed upwards by localised downpours forecast on Wednesday.
DMI has issued a weather alert for heavy rain and “cloudburst” downpours in parts of southern and western Jutland between Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening. Rainfall of up to 30-50 millimetres has been forecast in these areas. A “cloudburst” is defined as 15 millimetres of rain falling within 30 minutes.

Funen acould also get heavy rain on Wednesday, with 25 to 35 millimetres possible in six hours, according to the forecast.
A large portion of this month’s rainfall came during just a few days, particularly July 21st-23rd, when over 100 millimetres of rain was recorded at 27 different measuring stations across the country.
