The changeable autumn weather looks set to continue well into November. The storm umbrella and poncho will often be needed, meteorologist Jaco van Wezel thinks Weatheronline. The first days of this week are not too bad and it is even particularly mild for the time of year.
Tomorrow it will be dry for a long time with some room for the sun in the center and south of the country. Meteorologist Alfred Snoek van Weather Plaza even calls it ‘very friendly weather’. Thicker clouds and rain areas will arrive from the west. In the night to Tuesday the first rain falls and the days after there will be much more rain.
Next week it will also start to blow harder. ,,The wind adds a little extra every day and especially on Wednesday and Thursday there is a chance of heavy gusts of wind,” said Van Wezel.
However, there will be no cold autumn weather until Wednesday, because a south-south-westerly wind brings soft air. Tuesday and Wednesday it will be 16 to 19 degrees in large parts of the country. In the south it might even be 20 degrees. ,,That makes it very soft for this phase of October. Normally it is about 14 degrees. On Thursday much cooler air will flow in and from then on we have to make do with maximums around 12 degrees. That saves a coat!” says Van Wezel.
Normal autumn weather
The weather forecast for the end of October shows very normal autumn weather. Rainy areas and showers move over our country from the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The wind generally blows quite a lot and sometimes it can get really turbulent.
The afternoon temperature remains at a normal level of 10 to 15 degrees. Many nights are quite mild with minimums of 7 to 12 degrees. ,,But once it is clear and the wind drops, it can cool down to around freezing.
Mild November weather
At the beginning of November, very little is expected to change. “The weather models do show that it is on average considerably warmer than it normally is at the beginning of November. The wind usually blows from the west to southwest and therefore the nights are often mild. During the day, the temperature is around a normal level of about 10 degrees,” says weatherman Van Wezel.
It remains changeable and that results in many wet days or parts of the day. “But sometimes we take advantage of the foothills of a high pressure area to the south of our country. This sometimes results in several dry days and then it can be very pleasant with some sun. The temperature can then turn out higher with values around or above 15 degrees. During a clear night, it can actually freeze once and the window scraper is necessary.”
