The warm weather is set to remain in the Netherlands for a couple more days as the tail end of tropical hurricanes Leslie and Michael move over the Mediterranean Sea, rather than northwards as thought earlier.

After a weekend in which several weather records were broken – including the warmest ever October 12 and 13 – the temperatures will reach up to 25 degrees on both Monday and Tuesday, weather forecasters said.

Wednesday and Thursday are likely to be a little cooler, with temperatures in the high teens and there maybe some showers.

Friday and next weekend will be dry and sunny, but with temperatures around 15 degrees, which is normal for the time of year, the KNMI said.
