Overview
- A striking red sky seen over North Brabant on Friday night was caused by a thick layer of high cloud that reflected sunset light, meteorologists said.
- The region enjoyed a brief warm spell through the weekend that peaked on Monday with widespread daytime highs near 25°C and local spots reaching 27–28°C.
- Forecasters say the pattern will flip from Tuesday as a rain band moves in and daytime temperatures fall to about 18–19°C, marking a rapid shift toward autumnlike weather.
- Midweek is expected to be unsettled with frequent showers or heavier rain, a chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday and strengthening southwest to west winds that may reach force 6 along the coast.
- Models and local forecasts stress regional variation and night cooling, so eastern inland areas will stay warmer than the coast while clear nights could drop temperatures below 10°C in places.
