Beats record set in 1941. Also, snowfall reported around the country.

________________

6 May 2019 – It was so cold in Copenhagen during the Occupation in World War II that the coldest ever May day recorded in the Danish capital was in 1941.

We can now scratch May 1941 from the record books because on Saturday morning a new record low of 0.8 degrees was set in Frederiksberg.

I didn’t understand why this article started talking about Copenhagen and then switched over to Frederiksberg, so I checked the all-knowing Wikipedia.

Turns out that Frederiksberg is a part of the Capital Region of Denmark. It is formally an independent municipality separate from Copenhagen Municipality, but both are a part of the City of Copenhagen.

On Friday evening in the capital at around 22:00, and at different times elsewhere around the country, it full-on snowed for 30 minutes.
