Denmark is set to experience a weekend that strongly evokes the feel of autumn, characterized by gusty winds and intermittent showers. Meteorologists predict a mix of weather conditions, offering brief respites of dry spells and sunshine between the more blustery periods.

Temperatures are expected to hover between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius on Friday, with a steady to strong westerly wind making its presence felt. As the weekend progresses, the wind direction will shift to northwest, bringing potentially strong gusts, particularly along coastal areas where they could approach storm strength.

The weekend weather will be quite autumnal.
