Netherlands Set for Unusually Warm Wednesday, With South Possibly Near 20°C

A brief southerly airflow from southern Europe drives the surge.

Overview

  • Forecasters expect a sunny, springlike peak on Wednesday with widespread mid‑teens and locally high‑teens Celsius.
  • Weeronline signals a chance of around 20°C in southern Limburg, which would mark the first official warm day of the year, while KNMI guides closer to 18°C.
  • Temperatures far exceed late‑February norms of roughly 6–9°C, and some regional daily records could be approached though not guaranteed.
  • The setup stems from a southwesterly to southerly flow advecting warm air north, producing notable regional variation from about 13–19°C.
  • The warm spell should be brief, with slightly cooler, more changeable weather returning late week and a tentative signal for Saharan dust on Thursday.
