Denmark’s retail sales showed a significant drop in July, with analysts citing the worst rainfall on record as the culprit.

Sales fell a seasonally-adjusted 4.4% from the month before, the biggest decline since the spring of 2021, when Covid-19 lockdowns affected spending patterns, Statistics Denmark said on Monday. Denmark had more than twice as much rain as normal in July, breaking a 92-year record for that month, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute.
