After Amy, Netherlands Settles Into Mild, Mostly Dry Week

High pressure now steers a quieter pattern with mostly dry, mild days.

Overview

  • Tuesday’s forecast calls for overcast skies with brief sunny spells and highs around 17 to 18°C, with only patchy mist or light drizzle possible overnight.
  • A narrow band of light rain is expected late Wednesday, after which a high-pressure system keeps conditions largely dry with occasional sunshine through the week.
  • Winds have eased over land to moderate southwesterlies, though they remain comparatively stronger along the coast before relaxing further under high pressure.
  • Weekend rainfall proved highly localized, including about 56 mm in Groenlo, 29.5 mm at Rotterdam The Hague Airport and 21.5 mm in Hoek van Holland.
  • Peak gusts reached up to roughly 93 km/h on sections of the Houtrib/Markerwaard dikes, yet local forecasters reported no widespread disruption.
