Good news for your weekend plans: temperatures are set to climb sharply over Easter, with Weeronline predicting highs of up to 17°C by Saturday.
You’ll need to earn it first, though. Thursday and Good Friday are looking grim before the holiday hits its stride.
First, the bad news: Thursday and Friday
Thursday is grey, grey, grey. Wet spells through the morning, a brief glimpse of sun near the coast in the afternoon, and a high of 10°C. For April, that’s pretty dismal.

Good Friday offers a deceptively bright opening, before the sky closes in and rain pushes in from the west by afternoon. Coastal spots can expect winds of force 7. Highs of 11°C mean it’s wise to bring a jacket.
Easter Saturday is where it turns around
By Saturday, the outlook shifts. A mostly dry, pleasant day is on the cards, with sunshine and cloud trading places throughout. It feels like spring for once: highs of 14°C in the north, 17°C in the south.
Sunday and Monday follow a similar script — partly cloudy with spells of sun, and good enough for outdoor plans. The south peaks around 17°C again, the north around 13°C.
Could 20°C actually happen?
According to Weeronline, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week could see some regions reach 20°C or above for the first warm days of 2026.
The catch, as ever, is that it won’t last, with cooler air and showers forecast to follow. Classic Dutch weather.
Still, a few days of warmth after months of grey is nothing to sniff at. Get the terrasje plans ready.
