With 30 Degrees On Monday, the week kicks off summer-like, but from Tuesday it will get just warmer. Due to a Low-Pressure Area, 33 to 34 Degrees Can Be Reached in the West. On Wednesday and Thursday, just 35 degrees is not out of the question.
At the Beginning of the Week, It is especially warm in the South of the Country Due to a High-Pressure Area from France, Writes Weerplaza. Locally it can be 30 degrees. In the rest of the country it is a bit cooler with 25 to 29 degrees.
Those who love summery weather and warmth can look forward to the rest of the week: Then the temperature will certainly not drop below 30 degrees in the South.
Anyone Looking For A Bit of Cooling Can Head North: Due to Wind From the Sea, It Will Be Between 25 and 30 Degrees there. It will also be sunny there, but occasionally there will be safe clouds.
After Tuesday, A Low-Pressure Area Will approach from the West of the Netherlands. This can cause significant spikes in temperature to 34 to 35 degrees. Whether Those Will occur has to do with the distance of the low-pressure area. If it stays out of the area, the mercury can reach high temperatures.
Low-Pressure Area Determines Intensity of Heat
But there are also scenarios Possible in which the low-pressure area Exerts More Influence, Weerplaza Meteorologist Donny de Koning Explains to Nu.nl. Then the Wind Blows to the West and It is a Little Less Warm there. The Chance of Thunderstorms also increases. In The East, The Temperature Does Rise Above Thirty.
The Expectation for Wednesday is Currently Between 30 and 33 Degrees. In The West it is then a little less hot with 27 to 30 degrees.
Thursday the Low-Pressure Area Comes Closer and the Chance of a Rain or Thunderstorm Increases, the Koning Further Reports. But it is still unclear what that will look like. But if you want to barbecue this week, you can better do that on Monday or Tuesday.
Precipitation Deficit is Growing, But Still Under Control
In any case, there will be little to no rain this week. The Drought Will Continue In The Coming Weeks. “It Helps That There Were More Showers in recent Weeks,” De Koning Continues. As a result, the precipitation deficit remained stable.
But the upcoming Drought Will Change That. “The Deficit Will Increase to Anverage of 230 to 240 Millimeters,” The Meteorologist Explains. This year falls again in the 5 percent threest year that the Netherlands had.
There are large regional differentences, he emphasizes. That also see the union of water boards. “There is really a division. There is much more rain in the north than in the South. In Brabant, Limburg and Zeeland It is Therefore Drier Than Normal. Therefore, Sprinkler Bans from Groundwater Apply There,” Says a Spokesman.
Althegh it is a very dry year, the deficit still seems to be under control. “We do not expect major problems with the upcoming heat,” Says the Spokesman. But the upcoming Heat Increases the Chance of Wildfires, because the Soil Dries Out.
The Spokesman Emphasizes That It Is Wise To See Where Can Swim Safely. “Due to the drought there may be more blue algae and there is Sometimes a negative swimming advice.”
