Early December Warmth Sets New Date Records in the Netherlands

Warmth stems from a persistent southwesterly flow that will also deliver rain later.

Overview

  • Rotterdam The Hague Airport reached 14.3°C on Sunday evening, setting a new date record.
  • The national reference station at De Bilt registered the warmest 7 December on record at 14.0°C, with 14.3°C measured in Herwijnen and Hupsel in Gelderland.
  • Forecasts keep daytime highs near 13–14°C through midweek with very mild nights around 10–11°C and occasional rain today and Tuesday.
  • Meteorologists report a realistic chance of additional date records this week, with provincial thresholds likely to be tested under the warm pattern.
  • Separately, authorities named and arrested Corné H. in the Vught prison hostage case, Papiermakerij Doesburg shuts permanently on Monday, and police are investigating a death found at football club DTS.
