As Storm Dave (or "Påskeorkanen") continues its eastward movement through Scandinavia, we're starting to tally up the damage done in Denmark.

With peak recorded gusts of 36 m/s, possibly higher unrecorded, it brought with it some intense damage. Damage is provided below.

Here are the stats:
Width: 1,01 km (widest in Danish history)
Path length: 3,14 km
Intensity: IF1
Occurrence: ~1935Z

The Jels Event back on August 24, 2024

After over a year of analysis, DNSROP has gained confidence in calling the event tornadic, and thus will be listed as such in DNSROP's survey log. This comes after a exhausting remote survey of the event, its damage points, and any media related to it.

Now, What's to Come? (2/2)

By the turn of the year (2026), DNSROP will work to improve its effect on the science community and public outreach/visibility. And biggest of all: a budget.

Now, What's to Come? (1/2)

As the season changes into autumn, and severe weather season comes to an end, DNSROP will be heading into a overwintering period. But, @topscandinavia.bsky.social will remain active, issuing tornado outlooks for any relevant days.

Damaging Lightning

Damaging lightning was prevalent coast-to-coast in Denmark 2025, causing one death in/near Ornum. Additionally, lightning damaged a house and exploded a tree.

Hail Activity

In strong contrast to 2024, 2025's season featured minimal hail activity, with the largest stones reaching 2,5 cm (~1 inch) in size on two occasions, namely June 1 and August 23. In 2024, by contrast, the largest stone reached ~10 cm, four times the size of 2025's largest.

Tornado Activity (2/2)

...with a low-pressure system traversing in over Denmark, leading to very robust waterspout/landspout profiles for any cell that did develop.

Tornado Activity (1/2)

With over 20 reports (21), the tornado count so far is hugging the upper-bound of DNSROP's forecast of 14-22, marking a significantly more active season than initially thought. This is in part due to a rather favorable end to July/start August...

A Look Back Upon the May-August Storm Season 2025 & What Awaits DNSROP

Images source: ESWD

Two funnel clouds today as intense thunderstorms traversed Sjælland (Zealand). Touchdown possible, as damage has been found (Img. #3).

Rather strong tornado for a region not previously known for such intensity.

This is why @topscandinavia.bsky.social exists. Whole of Scandinavia deserves tornado outlooks - not just for Denmark.

DNSROP and @tornadoproj.bsky.social are now back online and active.

Thanks to everyone for their patience.

The DNSROP and TOP projects will be put on halt until further notice; citing technical difficulties.

When the projects come online again, new refinements will be made, most notably to the TOP @tornadoproj.bsky.social graphics.

Sorry.

Day 1 risk: a low risk was maintained, but locally higher wind shear corridors from Aarhus to Hjørring may constitute a higher risk in future outlooks.

First Danish convective severe weather event seems possible tomorrow. More updates to follow.

Technical difficulties, it seems.

[ENGLISH]

CFS forecasts suggest the same from July to August this year. Using this, we can publish a rough estimate of the tornado count for 2025.

From May to September, the likely number of tornadoes in Denmark will be around 14-22 tornadoes (2004-2024 average of 14.5 tornadoes).

[ENGLISH]

2024, 2022 and 2019 (etc.) were active storm-wise, but what did they have in common?

A quasi-stationary Icelandic low-pressure area, below-average precipitation and temperature anomalies over the North Sea, and higher precipitation and temperature anomalies over Denmark and Sweden.

[ENGLISH]

Now that tornado season is starting in the US, what is the forecast like here in Denmark?

Here is a forecast from DNSROP.

CFS-prognoser tyder på det samme fra juli til august i år. Ved hjælp af dette kan vi udgive et groft skøn over tornadotallet for 2025.

Fra maj til september vil det sandsynlige antal tornadoer i Danmark være omkring 14-22 tornadoer (2004-2024 gennemsnit på 14,5 tornadoer).

2024, 2022 og 2019 (o.s.v.) var aktivt uvejrsmæssigt, men hvad havde de til fælles?

Et kvasi-stationær islandsk lavtryksområde, nedbør og temperaturafvigelser under gennemsnittet over Nordsøen og højere nedbørs- og temperaturafvigelser over Danmark og Sverige.

Nu hvor tornadosæsonen begynder i USA, hvad lyder prognosen som herhjemme i Danmark?

Her er en prognose fra DNSROP.
