If you’re a winter weather lover, you can rejoice. If you’re a regular person, it’s time to grit your teeth. The Netherlands is about to see hail, frost, and maybe even some sleet.
If you’re waking up in Limburg on this fine Monday, then your morning is a cold one, with temperatures sitting at just 2 degrees in the early hours, according to RTL Nieuws.
However, while you may be cold, you should be thankful you’re not located along the northern coast today. Lucky residents living there will experience balmy temperatures of around 8 to 9 degrees, oh, and wind gusts of up to 90km/h.
But extra-strong winds aren’t the only interesting weather phenomenon to hit this week.
Potentially sleet on Wednesday
While Tuesday will be a typical November day in the Netherlands (a mixed bag of rain, clouds, sun, and temperatures of 7 degrees), there is a possibility of the wintery addition of hail.
Wednesday will add to this winter feeling. According to RTL Nieuws, a low-pressure system will sweep across the Netherlands on Wednesday, bringing with it plenty of rain, which may decide to take on the form of hail or sleet. Temperatures will linger around 6 degrees.
Then, we’re heading into the minus
According to the NOS, and much like the general population, the rest of the week will be “unsettled”, with a chance of wintery showers.
Temperatures during the day will sit between 4 and 7 degrees, and during the night? They’ll drop to freezing, with Friday night expected to dip as low as -5 degrees.
In other words, it’s time to take out that ugly wooly hat your granny gave you last Christmas.
