Summer heat returns: Expect highs of 30 degrees in the Netherlands this weekend

Summer’s playing hard to get 🔥

Dutch skies are throwing everything our way this week, with sunshine, showers, and sizzling temperatures all packed into one forecast. 🌧️🌞

It’s time to pack your umbrella and stock up on some ijsjes, with Weeronline predicting moody showers and tropical temperatures.

Here’s what the Netherlands can expect over the coming days. 👇 

Wednesday brings typical, rainy Dutch weather

Today (July 16), you’ll want to prepare for plenty of clouds and scattered showers, especially inland, where some might come with a dramatic thunderclap or two. 👀

The sun might peek through the clouds briefly, but don’t hold your breath.

By the afternoon, things will start to improve from the west, while central and eastern regions may still catch a few heavy showers.

Sunny spells in the west will be accompanied by temperatures between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius and a moderate wind. Living near the coast? Try not to get blown away, as you’ll get the full force of the wind. 🌬️

Come evening, most of the country will be dry, though a few showers could linger in the east.

Overnight, skies will clear across much of the country and winds will ease. Temperatures, meanwhile, will fall to 11 degrees inland and 15 degrees along the coast. 🌙

Thursday will be grey in the northeast, golden in the south

Thursday is expected to be a mixed bag. 👀

The north and east of the country will see some clouds and a few leftover showers through the early afternoon. Lucky ducks in the south, however, will get to enjoy some sweet summer sunshine.

Thursday will also be somewhat warmer, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 20 degrees in the north, and up to 25 degrees in the sunny southwest.

Winds from the northwest will calm as the day goes on. Things are improving, at least for now. 😏

Friday and beyond? Get ready for summer heat

Expect sun from morning to evening this Friday, with barely a breeze to mess with your hair. 💁

Temperatures will climb to 25 to 27 degrees across much of the country, with the coast and north a bit cooler but still pleasant.

Saturday will turn up the heat even higher. The south could hit 30 degrees, and it will feel more humid. (Hello, sticky skin and frizzy hair!)

But don’t get too cosy, because Saturday evening might see heavy showers or thunderstorms roll in, especially in the southwest.

Sunday stays warm, but rain and thunder could arrive to gently cool things down. After the weekend, expect cooler and more unpredictable weather ahead. 😬

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