Torrential downpours and thunderstorms struck the Danish islands of Als and Lolland on Friday evening, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI).

Earlier on Friday, DMI had warned of heavy rain, initially targeting western Jutland and parts of central Jutland. However, the storm cells have since shifted eastwards, crossing Funen and reaching western Zealand.

Bodholdt indicated that the intense rainfall is anticipated to diminish around midnight. "And then there will be local showers again during the morning hours," she added. A downpour is classified as torrential rain when it exceeds 15 millimeters of precipitation within 30 minutes.
