Sorry, what!? Temperatures will reach almost 20 degrees in the Netherlands today

Spring is making a cameo! 😎

After what felt like an eternal deep freeze, the Netherlands is finally defrosting! This Friday, temperatures are set to hit a casual 17 degrees Celsius — excuse us while we recover from whiplash.

But don’t get too excited, Saturday will bring rain. In typical fashion, Dutch weather is keeping us on our toes. 🌦️

Sunny Friday vibes (for some)

How better to kick off the weekend than with a taste of spring? 

For many of us, the morning started with a mix of sun and clouds across the country, and they’re bringing higher temperatures with them. 

Most of the country will remain dry for the day, with temperatures climbing up to 17 degrees —  a true heatwave after shivering through the last few days.

However, not all of us are so lucky. For those living in the Wadden Islands or Ijsselmeer, the morning started in typical February fashion: with fog.

While the rest of us may start sweating in our winter coats, the cooler winds over the water in these regions will also keep temperatures a bit lower, ranging between 11 and 15 degrees, as RTL Nieuws reports. 

A classic Dutch weather plot twist 

Just when you thought spring had arrived, Saturday pulls a fast one. 

While the entire country will enjoy a dry morning, some of us will quickly be reminded that we’re living in the Netherlands.

By the afternoon, most of the country will be soaked with rain until the evening.

Living in Limburg? There will be no rain at all — lucky you! (But you are living in Limburg).💁‍♀️

Enjoy Friday’s sunshine while it lasts because, well… it’s the Netherlands.

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