Mother’s day brings summer-like warmth, with temperatures reaching 26 degrees
The Netherlands is enjoying a sunny, summer-like Mother’s Day, with temperatures ranging from 21 to 26 degrees. The warm weather is expected to continue in the coming days, though some cloud cover is likely on Wednesday, according to a forecast by Weeronline.
This afternoon promises more pleasant, sun-soaked weather. While a few small cumulus clouds may develop in the northeast, no rain is expected. A moderate southeast to east wind will push temperatures up to between 23 and 26 degrees, though the Wadden Islands will be slightly cooler, with highs around 21 degrees. As the day progresses, winds in the Wadden area will increase to a moderate 5 Beaufort. Along the western coast, a gentle sea breeze—between 1 and 2 Beaufort—may bring some relief.
The warm weather is ideal for outdoor activities, but sun protection is essential. With a UV index of 5, unprotected skin can burn within 20 to 30 minutes.
The evening will remain warm with clear skies. The sun will set around 9:20 p.m., with temperatures ranging from 18 to 21 degrees; in some cities, it may stay slightly above 21. Overnight, temperatures will drop to 8 degrees in the northeast and between 12 and 15 elsewhere.
The new week will begin with more summer-like conditions. Sunshine will persist from morning to evening, with highs ranging from 19 degrees in the north to 25 in the south and southwest. A steady east wind will blow at 3 or 4 Beaufort inland and reach 5 Beaufort near the Wadden Islands. In the afternoon, some cloud cover may develop in the southwest, with a slight chance of a light shower.
Monday evening will again be clear and pleasant. After sunset, temperatures will fall quickly, reaching lows between 7 and 9 degrees inland and 10 to 14 along the coast.
The sunny pattern will continue on Tuesday. It will be another bright spring day with highs of 20 to 25 degrees and a moderate east wind. The Wadden Islands and parts of Noord-Holland will be cooler—around 18 degrees—due to the sea breeze.
On Wednesday, winds will shift from east to north, bringing in slightly more humid air. High clouds will move in from the north, and some cumulus clouds may form. The weather will remain dry, with intervals of sunshine. Temperatures will dip slightly, reaching 20 to 24 degrees. Along the coast, where winds blow over colder seawater, highs will range between 17 and 20 degrees.
Dry and mostly sunny conditions are expected to persist through the rest of the week. No measurable rainfall is forecast in the coming days. So far, 2025 ranks among the driest years since records began.
Afternoon highs will stay mild, between 19 degrees in the north and 23 in the south. Coastal areas may feel cooler due to the northerly wind. Overnight temperatures will average around 8 degrees
