Colder Pattern to Replace Mild Spell by Weekend, Cutting White Christmas Odds

Forecasters expect seasonable days with light overnight frost through Christmas with precipitation chances staying low.

Overview

  • Daytime highs hold near 10–11°C and conditions stay mostly dry through Friday with frequent morning cloud and occasional afternoon sun.
  • Weeronline estimates a 70–80% chance the upcoming period turns colder than average, with light frost likely at night during the holidays.
  • Precipitation chances are projected near 40% in or just after the weekend, easing to about 30% on the Christmas days.
  • An official white Christmas in the Netherlands remains very unlikely under KNMI’s definition, though isolated snowflakes cannot be ruled out.
  • December has been notably dry locally, with around 17 mm recorded in Zeewolde and 34 mm in Rutten, and moderate winds have at times added a chilly feel.
