Weather forecasters are predicting temperatures of at least 15 Celsius this weekend, as a high pressure zone hits the Netherlands.

The wind is set to turn to the south and the cloud will disappear, bringing sunshine and mild weather to all of the country.

On Saturday the temperature will reach 13 Celsius but on Sunday it could be as high as 17 Celsius in places, according to weeronline.nl.

If the temperature does go above 16 Celsius, it will be the warmest March 8 since official records began in 1901. The current record was set in 2014.

However, the warm weather will bring problems for hayfever sufferers because the alder trees will flower and give off pollen, experts at the Leiden University’s allergy centre told news agency ANP.
