Overview
- Monday and Tuesday will stay mild and largely sunny with daytime highs around 20–22 °C, light winds and local morning mist that clears to sun.
- Models converge on a midweek low-pressure system that will likely bring rain from the west late Wednesday into Thursday and keep showers into Friday.
- Daytime temperatures are expected to fall to about 15 °C from Thursday as winds shift to cooler northwesterly flow and conditions become more unsettled.
- Meteorologists warn that any real recovery of soil moisture and river levels depends on sustained and widespread rainfall across the Netherlands and neighbouring countries.
- The coming days will be important for waterways and agriculture, so rainfall totals and river gauges should be watched closely to see if the shortfall of roughly 400 mm in parts of the west is reduced.
