This morning is a cloudy one, but hold on tight. Today and Wednesday are set to be beautiful, sunny days with temperatures going up to 17 degrees.
As maart roert zijn staart (spring wags its tail), you may have already noticed that the air was milder this morning.
Aside from some lingering drizzle in the northeast, most of the country will stay dry today. According to RTL Nieuws, temperatures will start at around 5 degrees in the northeast and up to 10 degrees in the southwest.
But then? It’s terrasje time.
Up to 16 degrees expected today
However, this afternoon, sunny spells will start pushing through in the southwest and west, eventually creeping into the centre of the country.
The northeast and east? Stubbornly cloudy all day, thanks to a light to moderate southerly wind.
Clouds aside, temperatures are forecast to be balmy, with the south enjoying up to 16 degrees in the afternoon, cooling to 14 degrees in the centre, and 12 degrees in the northeast.
Making way for clear blue skies, the clouds will retreat by this evening. Although Friesland and Gelderland may cling to the cloud cover a little longer.
While most of the country will remain dry, do bring some layers to the terrace. Tonight, temperatures are expected to dip as low as 7 degrees along the coast and 5 degrees further inland.
Can’t make the terrace today? Try Wednesday
Sunshine is forecast across the Netherlands tomorrow. While the northwest will experience highs of up to 14 degrees, temperatures will soar up to 17 degrees in the centre and south of the Netherlands.
Specifically, around noon is the best time to step outside and soak up some sunshine.

Don’t be fooled, though. It is still the middle of March, so the UV index will just be 2. You probably won’t get much of a tan.
How will you celebrate the sun? Tell us in the comments.
