Contexte culturel
Wind energy is a massive part of the Danish economy. When it 'blæser meget', Danes often think about the green energy being produced. In this region, the wind is so constant that 'det blæser meget' is considered normal weather, not an exception. The 'Danish Mountain' is a common joke referring to the strong headwind cyclists face. Danes have many idioms for wind, reflecting its importance in their maritime history.
