After a blissful weekend of double-digit temperatures, the coming week returns with rain, slippery conditions, and possibly even wet snow.
You might be tempted to ditch the winter coat, but don’t be fooled.
It will remain dry until Monday with plenty of sun, but conditions will reverse by next weekend.
Here’s what’s coming, according to Weeronline.
Starting with a taste of spring
According to Weeronline, the Netherlands will stay dry until at least Monday. Expect plenty of sunshine and daytime temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius.
Northern areas like Groningen, Leeuwarden, and Assen will be a bit colder, with highs between 3 and 7 degrees Celsius. Still, the weather should be quite manageable.
Then, it’s time for rain
However, after a sunny and calm start on Tuesday, cloud cover will increase throughout the afternoon. Rain moving in from the southwest will kick off a much wetter, gloomier stretch of the winter season.
By Wednesday and Thursday, the sun will disappear behind rain showers. However, the Northeast will be milder than usual, with temperatures of around 9 degrees.
And for those of us in the south, we can enjoy up to 12 degrees — from under our umbrellas.

An icy snap returns for the weekend
As soon as the weekend hits, temperatures will drop sharply.
While daytime highs will hover just above freezing, nights bring light frost, especially inland. Due to the cold temperature, rain showers may even turn into wet snow.
Slippery roads are likely to return, and weather warnings could follow if conditions deteriorate.
According to the Climate Adaptation Platform Netherlands, there is only one culprit behind wetter winters: climate change. Since 1906, winter precipitation has increased by approximately 26%.
As the coming week fills your days with grey skies and rain, we leave you with one piece of advice: enjoy the sun while it lasts, and keep your woollies within reach!
