This Saturday, Sinterklaas will arrive in the North Brabant town of Grave and enjoy almost cloudless skies, with bright sunshine forecast across the entire country.
If you’re sick of the drizzly, grey weather so far, the latest forecast from Weeronline might just lift your spirits.
Sunshine for almost every celebration this Saturday
Several towns and cities across the Netherlands hold their own Sinterklaas arrival, and the forecast is looking bright for anyone planning to wait on a quay for Sint and his Pieten.
You can expect a few cumulus clouds in the north and west, and a few high clouds drifting in from the northwest later on in the day.
However, you may want to dress warmly, as temperatures will hover between eight and ten degrees Celsius — though you’ll be spared chilly winds.
Slightly less favourable weather on Sunday
And what if Sinterklaas arrives in your town on Sunday? Well, he’ll be greeted by slightly more clouds, though the sun should still peek through regularly.
It’ll also be slightly colder, with temperatures of six degrees expected in the north and nine degrees in the south.
According to Weeronline’s national forecast, a stray shower or two might move in from the south, but much of the day should still stay dry.
What about the rest of the week?
Helaas, you’ll need to expect a cloudy Wednesday, with multiple rain showers across the south. Come evening, things should dry out in most provinces, except Limburg.
Cities along the coast may see the odd shower tonight, with nighttime temperatures dropping one to three degrees.
Thursday morning will be cloudy, with local showers and patches of fog inland. Dress for chilly weather, as temperatures in the southern half of the country will hover slightly above freezing.
By afternoon, temperatures will reach eight degrees in the southeast and 11 degrees at the coast, and expect a moderate to strong wind if you live in a coastal region.
Come nighttime, temperatures on Thursday may drop to one or two degrees, with a chance of freezing at ground level.
Friday will offer changeable weather, with alternating periods of sunshine and cumulus clouds. Coastal regions may see a few showers, but it should stay dry inland.
Daytime temperatures will reach nine to 11 degrees, with a fairly strong wind along the coast.
