An easterly wind is set to blast sub zero temperatures back into the Netherlands on Wednesday, bringing ice and possibly a light dusting of snow to much of the country.

Monday is a mild day, with temperatures reaching up to seven degrees and there may be some sunny spells. On Tuesday, it will be cloudy with rain and a little cooler, but by Tuesday night, the cold air will take over and the light rain may turn to snow, the KNMI weather bureau said.

From Wednesday onwards it will be cold and dry, with the temperature reaching no more than zero during the day and down to as low as -7 degrees overnight, according to the KNMI.

The weekend will be slightly warmer during the day, with the best of the sunshine on Sunday.
