NL must pay the price for early spring sun: thunder, hail and frost on the way

Betrayed by a week of faux spring 🥲

Last week, it felt like we had officially embraced spring with the warmest of welcomes (and hope for floral skirts to return). Now, we’re paying the premature sunshine tax as temperatures bring us back to reality.

Less than 10 degrees all week?! We might have sold our winter jacket on Vinted a little too soon…

Typical turn for the worse

After a classic grey and foggy start, today will creep from freezing to a meagre 7 degrees in the afternoon, De Telegraaf reports. 🌫️

The north and west might be lucky enough to see the sun peek out, but the coast can expect rain.

In the evening, the chances of rain increase again. With the wind picking up, we might even awake to some frozen rooftops on Wednesday.

Speaking of — tomorrow will also kick off with a chill, then highs of 8 degrees during the day.

Sunny, stormy showers

Later this week, the weather might give us a little whiplash.

Expect a chaotic concoction of sun, cloudy, rain, hail and even thunder on Thursday. One thing is certain: it will not be too warm, barely reaching 7 degrees.

Finally, there will be less rain from Friday onwards, with most of the country enjoying drier, *slightly* warmer weather as we head into the weekend.

Although, after this week’s betrayal, we might start preparing for the worst for April. 🙄
