Tropical temperatures as high as 35 degrees to hit the Netherlands this week

Break out the sunscreen 🌞

Starting today, we’re diving headfirst into a seriously summery week. Yes, even the weekend is joining the heatwave party with temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees on Sunday.

RTL just released their weather report, and it’s a scorcher. We’re talking sizzling highs of up to 35 degrees; so if you’ve been dreaming of beach days, barbecues, or just lounging in the sun, this is your moment.

Today (Tuesday, June 17)

The morning may have kicked off with a bit of mist and cloud cover, but don’t be fooled, the sun is taking over. By this afternoon, expect mostly sunny skies and dry conditions across the board.

Those of us on the northwest coast will enjoy a mild 21 degrees (perfect for a seaside stroll).

Meanwhile, anyone living in central areas will experience a toasty 26 – 27 degrees.

However, it’s those in the southeast who will really feel the heat, with temperatures potentially reaching 30 degrees.

A gentle west wind will help keep things feeling fresh, and tonight’s skies will stay clear and dry. Bonus: the sun doesn’t set until 10.02 pm, more daylight for us to enjoy.

Tomorrow (Wednesday)

Sun lovers, rejoice, tomorrow is another beauty. Expect:

  • Wall-to-wall sunshine
  • Some fluffy cumulus clouds in the centre, east and southeast (nothing dramatic)
  • No rain in sight
  • Temperatures climbing to 29 degrees in the southeast and holding at 21 degrees along the west coast

And Thursday?

The good weather just keeps on coming.

Thursday is the “coolest” day – and we use that term lightly. Temperatures will linger around a balmy 20 degrees on the northwest coast and 24 in the southeast.

Then… get ready.

From Friday, it’s full-on summer mode

Temperatures will soar as the weekend hits. It’s gonna be dry, sunny, and just downright tropical.

And we don’t mean 26 degrees and sunshine. By Sunday, it could hit a sweltering 35 degrees in the southeast.

Stock up on ice cream, slap on some SPF and tell us in the comments how you’re gonna spend this first week of summer.
