Carnival partiers to get cold nights

After a mild winter, the upcoming carnival weekend is going to be colder. The folk party is going to coincide with the coming of spring. The weather forecast is relatively normal: clouds, sun and an occasional shower, it's only going to be colder than we have been used to in the last few winter months. Weeronline announced this. Afternoon temperatures will float around seven degrees, at night they will sink down to freezing with chances of frost. Only one day of frost has been recorded in De Bilt this February. During and after the weekend, the weather will be determined by depressions in the area of the Netherlands. Luckily, there won't be 24-hour rain, so the idea of a dry parade must not be forsaken. The spring season will show itself here and there.
