Although it might feel like we’ve already said doei to summer, we’re in for a happy surprise this week. Waarom (why)? The tropical temperatures we’ve been missing are making a blazing comeback! 🥳
If you’re desperately clinging to your Dutch summer plans, then this weekend is your chance to hold on tight and finally put them in motion.
The week will start off with mild summer weather, then the weekend will bring temperatures that are perfect for some leuk beach days, reports NU.nl. Hoera!
Building anticipation for some summer fun
Ready and rearing to plunge into a pool? You may want to gently nudge the brakes, as this week will start off with a lack of excitement.
With an average temperature of 24 to 25 degrees Celsius and the possibility of thundershowers in the southeast, it may be hard to hold onto hope that better weather is coming.

But, the winds of change are coming — literally! On Thursday, the wind will blow from easterly directions bringing that warm air that we’ve all been jealous of from Eastern Europe.
What happens after that? Things get tropical, baby! 🏝
Put the lime in the coconut — it’s frozen cocktail time!
Our prediction: you’ll rush out of the office on Friday afternoon to sit on the terrasje and sip an iced cold drink. 🍹 Temperatures will reach a toasty 26 to 30 degrees Celsius, with the south and southeast being the hottest.

However, Saturday is when the real fun in the sun starts. Grab those swimsuits and head to the beach, because it will likely be the warmest day of the week.
How warm, you ask? Well, there’s a chance that temperatures could reach higher than 30 degrees Celsius in the southeast.
