Grey, but warmer weather this weekend
Temperatures could reach a balmy 11 degrees Celsius in Jutland this weekend, but the clear sunny skies of the last few days are set to give way to grey clouds.
Some rain could also fall in the coming days.
“It will be a greyer version of the weather we’ve been used to in recent days,” Klaus Larsen of national met office DMI told Ritzau.
“Warm and humid air is about to replace the nice blue skies of recent days,” he said.
Friday will begin with fog and rain, before temperatures begin to rise to around 7-10 degrees in Jutland, Larsen said.

Government lifts recipient requirement for egg donation
Egg donation will no longer require a designated recipient, and surplus eggs may be used to help multiple women, the health ministry announced yesterday.
This will mean the removal of a so-called modtagerkrav or “recipient requirement” for egg donation, making it easier for women to donate eggs and reduce waiting times for recipients.
The change means women will be able to donate eggs without a specific recipient being identified at the time of retrieval.
