Overview
- Strong southwest winds produced stormy conditions on Friday with coastal gusts reported between 75 and 90 km/h and wind forces of about 7–8, posing the greatest hazard along the North Sea coast.
- Winds are expected to ease through Friday afternoon and Saturday as a high-pressure influence builds, leading to drier, less windy conditions for most areas.
- The weekend will see a short-lived 'nazomer' with Sunday and Monday reaching local highs around 24–25°C, with inland and southern provinces most likely to be warm and sunny while isolated short showers remain possible.
- Nighttime temperatures will stay relatively mild during the current unsettled spell, with minima generally in the high teens, although clear nights inland can cool more by Saturday night.
- From Tuesday the pattern shifts back to cooler, more changeable weather with more frequent rain and daytime highs falling below 20°C, so the weekend offers a limited window for outdoor plans while coastal users should take care during Friday's peak winds.
