And although we are missing a couple of weeks before the end of the year, so expect DMI to set the record for the year already Tuesday.
– We do not lack much, and there is a good likelihood that tomorrow, we get the number of hours of sunshine, which for the record comes in the house. So it will be exciting to see, says Thyge Rasmussen, meteorologist at DMI.
on Tuesday, expect DMI namely, that virtually the whole of the country gets sunshine from morning to evening. However, there may emerge a few clouds up in the south-western part of Jutland during the day.
According to the DMI is missing one only to get more than two hours of sunshine, in order to record from 1947 is being beaten.

– The record will be presumably beaten in the morning. We expect a sunny day, so we expect that record to be in the morning. It is a solskinshistorie.
And if the record is beaten already in the morning, so there is still 27 days, in which the record can grow.
– It is a new record, which comes in good time, before the year is over. So it can only grow from there.
