Netherlands Set for Rain Today, Mild Midweek and a Colder Weekend

Conflicting model tracks of a nearby air-mass boundary keep the late-week outlook uncertain.

Overview

  • After a fairly dry start with some sunshine, a band of rain is forecast to move in from the southwest late this afternoon and evening.
  • Daytime temperatures today hover near 11–12°C, with southerly winds moderate inland and fairly strong along the coast at force 3–6.
  • Nighttime values generally hold around 9–10°C before a midweek warmup pushes highs to 14–16°C on Wednesday and Thursday.
  • The south could briefly reach about 18°C on Thursday, but forecasters expect colder air to arrive from the end of the week and pull daytime maxima back toward roughly 9°C.
  • Sinterklaas arrivals on Saturday are currently expected to be dry but noticeably cooler, though forecasters flag higher uncertainty from Friday because the exact position of the boundary will steer local rain and temperatures, with a chance of light frost at night in places.
