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:

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

Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more adjective

1.
arranged in or constituting a constant or definite pattern, especially with the same space between individual instances.
"plant the flags at regular intervals"

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.
