Weather forecast:
The warm front passing should bring higher temperatures and hopefully more stable wind on Tuesday in the Bay of Aarhus. The easterlies of 8-10 knots, will gradually swing south in the late afternoon under the influence of some small lows on the west coast of Denmark and building to a maximum of 12 knots.
The divergence between forecast and what transpired on Monday was caused by the warm front passing north, which spread its influence 50km further south than expected.
Temperature: 22-27 ℃
Sea temperature: 21 ℃
