The coming days are expected to be dry and sunny, with temperatures ranging from 21° to 26°, but it will become hotter by next weekend, according to weather bureau Weeronline.

There may be some cloud inland on Monday, but the west will have blue skies all day. Temperatures will reach 21° on the coast and will be higher in the south.

Tuesday will be warmer, particularly in the south, where temperatures are forecast to exceed 25°. The weather will be similar on Thursday and Friday.

The sun will be strong, with a daily UV index of 7, making protection essential, Weeronline says. By next weekend, inland temperatures could exceed 30°.

The long-range forecast from national weather bureau KNMI indicates more of the same up to the end of the month, with little chance of rain and a 60% likelihood of temperatures above the seasonal average.
