🇳🇱 Want to learn Dutch? Fantastisch! Take the first step and find a Dutch language school

It’s the longest day of the year! And it’ll be a hot one too

The Netherlands woke up to a beautiful blue sky this morning. Locally, there was some fog, but it quickly lifted and made way for sunshine. ☀️

The sun will be higher than usual as a result of the summer solstice, officially marking the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

It’s also shining extra strong today, so make sure to whip that SPF out as you soak in the 20-25 degrees expected this afternoon. 😎

“Good morning! This morning at 11:14 AM the astronomical summer officially starts, the weather is completely in line with that. After the local (dense) fog banks quickly disappear, it is sunny and warm. Only in Limburg is a shower possible this afternoon.”

Local forecasts

In the Amsterdam and Utrecht region, temperatures will rise up to 23 degrees this afternoon, writes NU.nl

In Brabant, Limburg, and the Achterhoek it can heat up to a full 25 degrees, while the Wadden Islands and the north coast will experience around 20-degree weather.
