Next week to be gloomy and stormy, wet snow expected

The change in the weather that will take place in the Netherlands next week may cause icy roads for a while, weather service Weeronline reports. Otherwise, cool, stormy, and cloudy weather will prevail, starting Monday.

Monday will start off mostly dry. The average temperature will be 6 to 8 degrees and there will also be some room for the sun every now and then. However, the weather will change from Tuesday, A large-scale precipitation area that is moving over the Netherlands from the United Kingdom will probably already cause wet snow that day. It will not stay for long, "but if it snows hard enough, it could still turn white in some regions". Places in the north, but also cities such as Utrecht and Nijmegen, will already be able to see the first snowflakes.

In addition to the cold and wet weather, there will also be strong winds on Tuesday. The wind may be particularly strong in the southwest and on the coast. In the course of the evening, heavy wind gusts of up to 75 kilometers per hour are possible in these regions, according to Weeronline.

From Wednesday to Friday, when the precipitation area has passed, the chances of precipitation will decrease somewhat and the average will be between 4 and 7 degrees. However, the chance of a slightly thicker snow cover, "of a few centimeters", will increase, especially inland. However, according to the weather service, the intensity of the wintry showers must be high enough for this to happen.
