King Winter has only just left our country, but it still seems that the Netherlands will actually get a taste of spring this weekend. Weather Plaza speaks Monday of a “remarkable turnaround”.
All weather models indicate, according to the weather service, that the sun will break through from Friday. Due to the influence of a high pressure area over Central Europe and weather depressions on the Atlantic Ocean, southern, very soft air is heading our way. As a result, it could possibly reach 15 to 18 degrees in the east of the country this weekend.
Such high temperatures are very rare for February, but the speed at which we go from deep winter weather to spring-like weather is perhaps even more exceptional. Usually there is a little more time in between. For example, with the previous very rapid temperature rise in March 2005, it took twelve days for the mercury to jump from -20 to 17 degrees, according to Weerplaza.
Although the weather forecast appears to be favorable, there is still a lot to be done, the weather organization emphasizes. For example, small weather influences can have major consequences. For example, if a cloud moves in front of the sun, it is already a lot colder at this time of the year. A improving wind can also throw a spanner in the works.
Furthermore, according to Weerplaza, the temperatures could drop considerably in the coming nights. The days are also short compared to spring, so that the pleasant period is between 12 noon and 5 pm.
Finally, the large snow piles and the ice on the ditches did not just melt this week. “Should it indeed come to a few hours of beautiful spring weather this weekend, we can sit in the garden in the afternoon and cool our drink in the snow debris that may still be there,” said Weerplaza.
