This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I never said they don’t get hail, I said they don’t get regular hail. In general, hail is uncommon in Denmark, and large hail is even more rare.
Well ofc that depends on how regularly you mean, but it's definitely multiple times annually.
But yes, those are record ones.
I was speaking anecdotally, but it’s good to back that up with some data.
https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2023/egusphere-2023-176/egusphere-2023-176.pdf
Page 15, Table 1 shows a clean table, with Denmark in the bottom 10 for large hail size in European countries; relative to places like Germany, large hail (the kinds you’d really want to avoid while on a bike) in Denmark is considerably more rare. That study only has two citations, though, so not the greatest source.
This survey is much better cited and comments on hail throughout Europe and in Denmark, but I can’t access the PDF at the moment: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169809516300291
I understand.
My point point is the definition of regular.
regular

h Similar: methodical systematic
Like in Finland, Denmark has a hail season. It's not that prominent compared to other places, but it is there and it is regular.
