Spring is in the air! Temperatures of up to 20 degrees to hit NL later this week

Is it socially acceptable to go swimming yet? 🏊🏼‍♀️

Dust off your sunglasses, dig out your expired sunscreen, and burn your winter clothes. Starting Thursday (20 March), the freezing temperatures will finally make way for highs up to 20 degrees Celsius. 

Although, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, we have to survive the chilly start of the week.

Gradually heating up to warmer temperatures

According to Hart van Nederland, the sunny skies from last week are sticking around for today, with a high of 11 degrees and a chilly breeze. Tonight, temperatures could drop as low as -7. 🥶

On Wednesday, the weather gods finally take pity on us, blessing the Netherlands with warm air and daytime temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees (!). 

Thursday follows a similar pattern, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees during the day — except for the unlucky Wadden area and the Zeeland coast, where it’ll stay a bit cooler.

Weekend warmth (for now)

On Friday, we’ll have some high clouds, but the warm air isn’t going anywhere, bringing us yet another 20-degree day. 🎉

Saturday holds onto the sunshine, too; however, contain your excitement since Sunday might get a little moody with colder and changeable weather. 🥴

Still, that means we’ve got four days of warmth and sunshine ahead of us! We’ll catch you on a terrasje with an Aperol in hand. 😏🍹
