Denmark recorded its highest temperature on record on Saturday, the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) said.
“With 36.6 °C north of Odense, we have the warmest day ever since measurements began in 1874,” DMI said in a post to X.
It added that “the day isn’t over yet…”
The previous record temperature in the Scandinavian country was 36.4 °C, which was recorded in August 1975, according to DMI.
DMI had warned that the record could be broken as a heatwave swept over the Scandinavian country, with media showing images of Danes around the country trying to cool off at beaches.
