The Netherlands is in for a continuing spell of warm, sunny weather, with clear skies and little cloud expected until at least Thursday, according to weather forecasters.

Saturday may start off hazy, but any high cloud will clear quickly and it will be warm, with temperatures reaching up to 24° in the south, Weeronline said. The outlook for Sunday is similar, and the forecaster warned that the sun will be strong, so sun cream is essential.

Next week, the sunshine will continue and temperatures in the south will remain between 21° and 24°. The KNMI weather bureau says the first clouds are likely to appear by the end of next week, but no rain is expected before the weekend at the earliest.

Temperatures are normally between 15° and 18° at this time of year.
