Temperatures could reach up to 36 degrees in the Netherlands next week

Hot stuff on the horizon 🔥

After yesterday’s heat, today cools things down with clouds, showers, and some gusty wind, but don’t worry, amazing summer weather is just days away.

So yes, Thursday’s a bit of a grump, but your weekend plans? They’re looking like pure sunshine and bliss, and early next week? Even hotter. Let’s break it down. 👇

Thursday grumpy skies and feisty winds

Today’s weather is Dutch fashion advice: dress in layers and carry hope and an umbrella.🌂

According to RTL Nieuws, the weather is noticeably cooler, with heavy cloud cover, patchy showers, and even a chance of thunder in the southeast.

Temperatures will rise to around 19°C in the north and 22°C in the southeast by late morning, but the real drama is the wind, blowing strong from the southwest, especially along the coast with wind force 4 to 6 expected. 💨

This afternoon, grey skies will stick around with occasional sun peeks. A stray shower might appear in the east, but most spots will dry out. Unless your hair has trust issues, inland highs reach a mild 23°C — manageable. 💁‍♀️

By evening, however, showers will ease off. Temperatures will cool down to about 16°C, and that restless wind will finally take a breather.

Friday flips the switch and the weekend goes full summer mode

Here comes the part we’ve all been waiting for: the sweet return of summer. Think terrace drinks, breezy bike rides, or claiming your spot at the nearest beach. 🍹

On Friday, the temperatures will feel just right: 20°C in the north and a sunny 25°C in the south, perfect for slowly easing back into your summer wardrobe.

Then comes the weekend, and it’s full-on summer vibes. Saturday brings clear skies and warmth, with temperatures sitting between 22°C and 25°C.

Next week it’s sunscreen, fans, and possible regret

Starting next week, things heat up…fast. Monday sets the tone with temperatures climbing above 30°C in many parts of the country. But that’s just the start of it. 🔥

As Weer.nl reports, very warm air from Spain will move into the Benelux right around the turn of the month, pushing temperatures even higher. For a day or two, we’re talking highs of up to 36°C.

Yep, your Dutch summer dream is finally coming true, but don’t count on the nights to cool you down. Tropical temps mean the evenings could stay above 20°C.

So, with a soggy Thursday behind us and a scorcher of a week ahead — how are you planning to make the most of it? Beach getaway? Or hiding indoors with ice cream and a fan on full blast? Let us know! 🍦

Until then, she writes. And drinks a lot of coffee.
