The west of the Netherlands turns white, “but the sun is already coming”

In most places turning white this morning, “it’s between drizzle and snowdrift,” according to Middendorp.

Snow is falling locally in the west of the Netherlands, says Middendorp. “The precipitation band is moving west and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Like Hilversum, possibly also in Woensdrecht or in the western part of North Brabant. In many places it will fall as snow, but at some places, the precipitation will tend more towards drizzle.”

It is dry in the north, east and south of the country, he said. “The precipitation band is now moving west towards the sea.”

The falling snow won’t last long, the meteorologist expects. “On the ground it is about three degrees. Then it may remain white for a while, but the snow will soon disappear. The sun will soon arrive from the east. In the afternoon, the rest of the country will also receive the sun It will be a beautiful afternoon then.

It will also remain sunny for the next few days, says Middendorp. “It will still be around 7 degrees during the day. The nights will be cold. It will freeze everywhere. Next night it may freeze 4 degrees in some places. In the coastal provinces it will be a little less cold.”

We can also see the Northern Lights in the Netherlands tonight and tonight, says Middendorp. “The further north you go, the better your chances. But be aware that the Wadden region is susceptible to clouds and fog tonight. So you have a better chance in the evening than at night. In the rest of the country, the weather will remain clear Look for a dark better you can see the light.
