Enjoy our warm Dutch autumn while you can — here’s when the cold will hit

Winter is coming! 🐺

If you’ve been enjoying the Netherlands’ unseasonably warm autumn thus far, you’d better make the most of it — colder, wetter weather is only a few weeks away. ☔🥶

According to Weeronline meteorologist Floris Lafeber, we can expect balmy temperatures between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius this week, with some lucky regions growing even warmer. 🌞

Coupled with mild nights and periods of dry sunshine, the weather is as pleasant as you’d hope Dutch autumn to be.

However, change is brewing. 👇

What weather will the next few weeks bring?

Lafeber stresses that the central and northern regions of the country will experience noticeably colder weather at the end of October.

Fog is likely to make an appearance and, depending on the direction of the wind, we may also be hit with some chilly autumn rain showers.

And what about the following month? Well, if you aren’t already bundled up, you’ll definitely need to stock up on some extra layers during the first period of November!

Temperatures are predicted to hover around 9 to 12 degrees Celsius during the day and grow considerably colder at night. Clear and windless nights will generously gift us some frost, whilst traffic-hindering fog will grow more common.

Come the middle of November, we’ll be back to regular autumn showers. (Hoera for Dutch weather! 🙃)
