Overview
- The sky across North Brabant took on a pronounced red colour on Friday evening, visible from towns such as Bergen op Zoom to Vierlingsbeek.
- Weerplaza meteorologist Donny de Koning says the effect came from sunlight shining on a thick layer of high or 'veil' clouds, which scatters longer red wavelengths over a wide area.
- Regional forecasts show a brief late‑summer spell now in place with daytime highs around 23°C today, 25–26°C tomorrow and local highs reaching 27–28°C in eastern parts of the province on Monday.
- Clearings at night during the warm spell will allow sharp cooling, with early‑morning temperatures falling locally below 10°C, so a light jacket is advised for early outings.
- Models indicate a clear change from Tuesday onward to cooler, windier and wetter conditions with daytime highs near 18°C, which returns temperatures toward the September average of about 20.4°C.
