The week in temperature at Denmark East's settlement station

All numbers computed from the week's published auction results at publication and frozen — this article is an honest snapshot, not a page that rewrites itself. Reproduce via the API.

København Kastrup, the settlement station for Denmark East, spent the week running just below its seasonal baseline. The average anomaly landed at -0.9, with daily maxima oscillating in a narrow band between 19 and 23 EUR-irrelevant degrees. The warmest day was 21 July at 23°C, a modest 1.1 above normal, while the coolest readings bookended the week: 19°C on both 19 July (-2.7) and 26 July (-3.2).

What stands out is the absence of extremes. No day came close to the p99 threshold, which held steady around 29.0 to 29.3 all week, and near-record days numbered zero. For a reader watching Danish cooling-linked demand, this points to a subdued, stable temperature signal rather than any heat-driven surprise.

For tomorrow, the volt-temp-2c model centres on a median of 22.8°C, with the interquartile range from 21.3 to 23.6. The single most likely outcome is 23°C at 26.9 percent probability, followed by 24°C at 23.2 percent. The concrete takeaway: expect another day near normal, with roughly half the distribution clustered between 22 and 24°C and little tail risk in either direction.

Daily temperature markets don't settle on "the weather" — they settle on the finalized daily maximum at København Kastrup (EKCH), one specific gauge. Here's what that gauge actually did this week, against the 35-year normal for each calendar day — ground truth for anyone analyzing Copenhagen temperature markets.
