Do we often get rain or many beach days? Photos: Tanja (left) and Gieny Westra (right)
The holiday month of July is just around the corner. Can we expect a lot of sun and summery to tropical heat, just like in June? Or will summer tap into a different barrel in July? You can read it in this monthly forecast for July 2023.
July starts with Dutch summer weather, similar to what we see this last week of June. The temperature is at a normal level, with a maximum of roughly 20-25 degrees. This makes it great weather to be outside. There are good sunny periods and they are interspersed with cumulus clouds. And every now and then there is also a shower or a rain zone passes over our country.
So keep both your sunscreen and our precipitation radar at hand. In July the days are still very long and sun strength 6-7 is often expected in sunny weather. Unprotected skin can burn within 10-30 minutes.
In the second weekend of July, the schools in the middle region are the first to start the summer holidays. From then on, the chance of summer temperatures of 25 degrees and more increases slightly, but otherwise it seems to remain changeable with a mix of clouds, sun and a single rain or thunderstorm. Great weather for an active holiday in our own country, but the really hot beach days will have to wait a while.

Second half of July increasing chance of beach weather
The Dutch summer weather may give way to a sunnier and warmer weather in the second half of July. That is not certain, but the chances of precipitation are decreasing and warmer weather than normal is likely. There are no signals yet for extreme heat with temperatures of 35 degrees and more, but the chance of beach days with summer to tropical heat is growing. So do you like to go to the beach or a swimming pool? Then you can hope for some beautiful beach days in the second half of July.

Thunderstorms can probably still reach us every now and then in the second half of July. The amount of precipitation can vary greatly from place to place. Where there are no showers for a longer period of time, the drought will increase again.
