This weekend brings milder temperatures, and by next week, forecasts predict a taste of actual spring weather in the Netherlands with inland highs of up to 18 degrees Celsius.
After weeks of wet, mushy snow and general misery, it looks like we’re finally catching a break.
But before we can start celebrating the taste of spring we’re about to receive, we’re in for a rather wet spell, warns Weeronline.
What to expect this weekend
Come Saturday, temperatures will hover around 6 degrees Celsius in the northeast and 9 degrees Celsius in Zeeland.
If you’re planning to be out and about in the morning, you may want to take a rain check, as it’ll be cloudy with frequent rain.

Things will dry up in the afternoon, but the cloud cover won’t budge. A few eastern regions may still see some drizzle, so be sure to carry an umbrella.
Afternoon highs will reach 10 or 11 degrees across most of the country, with the north staying slightly cooler at 8 or 9 degrees and the south nudging up to 12 degrees locally.
Sunday kicks temperatures up a notch, with between 9 and 13 degrees throughout the country. While it’ll stay cloudy with periods of rain, there’s a chance of brief sunshine in the northwest late in the afternoon.
Next week brings the real treat
According to Weeronline, mild conditions will continue into next week, with changeable weather on the cards. Prepare for typical Dutch weather, with rain showers one minute and dry, sunny spells the next.
However, midweek is when things get interesting. A sunny stretch could push inland temperatures up to around 15 to 18 degrees Celsius.
It’s not quite terras weather, and Dutch weather has a well-documented habit of teasing and then disappointing, but we’ll take it!
