Record-breaking warm October is leading to a freezing November

Did you enjoy the weather in the past few days? We’re glad! Because the autumn temperature is over.

It’s the end of the postcard-perfect, Instagram-picture-shooting-autumn leaves temperatures: November will bring chilly weather to the Netherlands.

In the coming days, temperatures will drop, so it’s time to find your winter coat.

“Especially during the morning hours, it is mainly cloudy, and a rain zone is moving northeast over the country. After that, several loose showers will be brought in with a strong south-westerly wind,” writes Roosmarijn Knol on Weerplaza.

According to the meteorologist, this is a typical November. However, with the warm weather of the past weeks, it will be much harder to get used to it. 

Record-breaking temperatures

Overall, the Netherlands has had quite a warm year so far. With the temperature of the past few days, 2022 has already become one of the warmest years yet. (Um, yikes!) 

The measurements started in 1901; since then, only 2003 and 2018 have been warmer than this year, according to AD

Energy prices: here we come!

But it looks like the weather won’t support our bills anymore, so it’s time to spend that €380 energy compensation from the government.
