Storm gusts were measured in many places in the country and in northern Jutland the gusts reached hurricane strength.
April weather is known to be very changeable, but it is very rare for it to blow as much as it did yesterday. In Hirtshals, average winds of 22.6 meters per second were measured.
It is stormy gale, which is the step just during the storm on the Beaufort scale. The last time a high wind was measured in Denmark in April was in 1997.
The highest winds in Hirtshals were measured at 30.7 meters per second, which is a strong storm. Gusts of strong storms were also measured in Skagen. The hurricane begins at 32.7 meters per second, and this was reached in Frederikshavn.
Between 14 and 15, gusts of 34.3 meters per second were measured. It is the strongest gust measured in April in 25 years.
