Weather warnings – FAQ
What do yellow, orange and red warnings mean?
DMI uses three levels: yellow (be aware), orange (be prepared, dangerous weather) and red (very dangerous, follow the authorities). tjekvejr shows a calculated severe-weather risk from the weather models – the official warning is issued by DMI.
Where does the severe-weather risk come from?
We derive it from the same open weather models we otherwise compare: strong wind gusts, heavy precipitation and thunderstorms over the next three days. The official, legally binding warning is always at DMI.
When does severe weather usually hit Denmark?
Autumn and winter storms are most common September–February, while cloudbursts and thunderstorms peak in summer. Gusts above roughly 20 m/s and rainfall above 25 mm in a day signal severe weather.
