Winter’s coming: colder weather to set in next weekend

The temperature is set to drop the coming weekend, bringing clear skies and night frosts to the Netherlands, weather forecasters say.

The temperature will go down to around 5 degrees but it will feel colder in the chilly easterly winds. The change in the weather is due to a high pressure zone above Scandinavia, which is driving cold air down from the north and east.

The cold, dry weather is likely to continue until the end of the month, according to Weerplaza weatherman Wilfred Janssen. ‘It won’t be cold enough to skate, but drivers should make sure they have found their de-icing equipment.’

The KNMI also says there is a 90% chance that the cold weather, with temperatures well below the seasonal average, will continue to the end of the month.
