Gloom ahead: more February fog and clouds expected in the Netherlands

Goodbye skies of blue, hello skies of grey. The Netherlands will be covered in a misty, murky haze for most of the day. 

Thought your Monday blues couldn’t get much worse? Well, we’re sorry to break it to you but fog and clouds will be hovering over your head in the Netherlands today, reports NU.nl.

It’s not all doom and gloom

If you’re living in the South, you’re in for a bit of luck, because the sun will appear briefly before pulling an Irish exit for the rest of the day. 

As the day drags on, temperatures will linger above freezing with little to no wind.

By evening, the sky should clear, but temperatures will drop below freezing overnight — forming fog, yet again.

Unfortunately, the North of the country will remain cloudy without a single sunny sighting. Wat jammer!

So close, yet so far

Don’t be down in the dumps just yet! March 20 marks the official turn from winter to spring in the Netherlands.

That’s one month and seven days until we can visit the Keukenhof, go on a wadlopen adventure, or even cruise along a canal with a biertje in hand. But, who’s counting? 😉

After calling Malaysia her home for 19 years, Eva moved to Amsterdam to study literary and cultural analysis. Well, that was the academic theory — in reality it was more like “cultural shock.” Eva’s mastery of life in the Netherlands involved initiation into the richness of nocturnal hangouts, canals, cuisine, and upright and forthright cyclists (who she now rings her bell back at.) When she is not speeding her way through books, she is winding and weaving down endless straatjes, often finding herself, not so quite by chance, in a gezellig music bar!
