Cold, Unsettled Ascension Weekend Grips Netherlands

Meteorologists expect a turn to milder southerly winds next week.

Overview

  • Following Friday's unusually chilly day, highs hover near 11–13°C with frequent showers and local thunderstorms that can bring hail.
  • Inland nights fall to around 2–3°C with a risk of ground frost, while coastal areas stay a bit milder under the cloud and onshore flow.
  • Saturday remains showery and cool near 13–14°C, then Sunday trends a little drier with more sun and about 15–16°C in many places.
  • Forecasts point to a steady warmup next week, reaching about 18–20°C by Wednesday and likely topping 20°C from Thursday, with some outlets signaling 23–25°C into the Pentecost weekend.
  • The chill stems from a northerly stream of polar air and a brisk northwest wind, and the recent rain is easing spring dryness and helping farms and gardens.
