Sunny Christmas Cold Snap Grips Netherlands as Northeast Wind Bites

Wind chill will keep conditions feeling well below freezing despite abundant sun.

Overview

  • Daytime highs briefly reach about 2–3°C today, then hover near 0–2°C through the Christmas days under clear skies.
  • A northeast wind blows moderate to fairly strong on land and at times strong at sea, up to force 6, producing a sharp wind chill.
  • Nights stay clear with light frost, with temperatures dipping roughly between −1 and −4°C.
  • The brisk flow hampers ice formation on waterways, and this holiday period is expected to be among the sunniest on record.
  • Rijnmond forecasts a weekend turn to milder, cloudier yet mostly dry weather, with possible mist Sunday and temperatures trending toward the 7°C seasonal norm afterward.
