Danish authorities issued fog warnings for multiple regions on Monday morning. The Meteorological Institute reported dense fog across Zealand, Lolland-Falster, and Funen islands.
Visibility dropped below 100 meters in affected areas. Commuters faced challenging travel conditions on roads and bicycle paths.
Henning Gisselø, the duty meteorologist, explained the weather phenomenon. "We have moist air across the country this morning," he said in a statement. The combination of few clouds and light winds created ideal fog conditions.
The fog warning specifically affects Denmark's eastern islands. Zealand contains the capital Copenhagen, while Funen and Lolland-Falster are major agricultural regions.
Drivers and cyclists should exercise extra caution during morning travel. Dense fog reduces visibility dramatically and increases accident risks.
Weather officials define dense fog as visibility under 100 meters. This level of fog makes navigation difficult for all transportation methods.
The fog situation highlights Denmark's vulnerability to sudden weather changes. The flat coastal geography often creates rapid fog formation without warning.
Residents should expect slower morning commutes and allow extra travel time. The fog typically lifts as morning temperatures rise.
