Freezing temperatures and possible snow flurries as Dutch cold snap returns

Pretty, but will the trains run?

After a few days of warmer weather, this weekend will dip back into freezing temperatures, bringing along a chance of snow flurries. 

To the west, Wednesday brings cloudy, rainy weather, while to the east, a little sunshine and drier conditions will peek through, according to De Telegraaf

Either way, today’s temperatures won’t drop below 4 degrees Celsius anywhere in the country. 

Thursday and Friday will be cold and dry

Thursday looks sunnier and drier overall, but temperatures will slowly creep down to around 1 to 2 degrees Celsius in the north. The central and southern parts of the country will see temperatures around 4 to 5 degrees and 6 to 8 degrees, respectively. 

Friday will remain cloudy and dry, with temperatures in the positive Celsius range. 

Will you be travelling by car sometime during the evening this week? You may need to watch out for black ice, as Weeronline predicts treacherous road conditions, especially in the north and certain eastern regions.

However, the weekend might bring snow

The weekend promises to be mainly cloudy, with a chance of precipitation. Due to freezing evening temperatures, this could turn to snow in the north and northeast. 

If you’re in the south and southwest, sorry, it’s more likely you’ll see sleet and rain than snow. 

Temperatures will range from 1 to 5 degrees during the day, while some regions, mainly north, will see negative values, especially at night.
