Heatwave hits the Netherlands: at least six days of high temperatures ahead
The Netherlands is in for a heatwave over the next six days at least, with temperatures reaching the low 30s Celsius, accompanied by plenty of sunshine.
There could be some cloud around by Sunday, but in the main it will be hot and sunny nationwide, with temperatures up to 29 Celsius in the north and 34 Celsius in the far south, the KNMI weather bureau said.
At night, the temperature will drop to between 17 and 20 Celsius, offering some respite from the day’s heat.
The KNMI says the hot weather will continue well into next week, but there could be thunderstorms by Wednesday. Its long term forecast is for cooler weather into the second half of August, but still with plenty of sunny spells.
