The Dutch summer has finally remembered it exists — and it’s coming in hot. ☀️
According to RTL Nieuws, the Netherlands is about to step into a gorgeous stretch of proper summer weather, with rising temperatures and possibly even a heatwave on the horizon.
But first, let’s talk about what the skies are doing today. 👇
Today brings warmth with a touch of cloud
Today will stay dry across the country, with temperatures slowly climbing to around 20 degrees Celsius near the Wadden Sea and reaching a pleasant 24 degrees in the south.
By the afternoon, the sun and clouds will take turns rearing their heads, with temperatures reaching up to 26 degrees in the east and southeast. A southwesterly breeze will pick up, making things gusty along the northwest coast. 💨
As evening approaches, cloud cover returns, and the north might see a few light showers, but nothing worth panicking over.
The night will stay warm and a bit muggy, with inland temperatures sticking around 16 degrees and coastal areas holding steady near 19 degrees.
Friday starts grey but the weekend is a summer dream
Friday morning will begin with clouds and a slight chance of drizzle up north. Limburg might sneak in some sunshine early on, because of course it does. 💅
As the day unfolds, skies will clear up and most of the country will stay dry by the afternoon, with temperatures ranging from a breezy 22 degrees at the coast to a warm 27 degrees in southern Limburg.

And then the real reward arrives: a weekend made for sun lovers. Both Saturday and Sunday will be dry and bright, with temperatures steadily rising.
By Sunday, the coast can look forward to 23 degrees while the southeast could bask in a full 30 degrees. It’s the perfect forecast for beach outings, garden lounging, and spontaneous barbecues.
Next week could bring a proper heatwave
If you think the weekend sounds warm, next week is turning things up a notch. Expect full sunshine and soaring highs between 25 and 32 degrees.
The east and southeast could see a regional heatwave, with several consecutive days of sizzling weather and barely a cloud in sight.
It’s time to stock up on sunscreen, claim the shadiest terrace table, and pretend your fan is your new best friend. 😎
