A bright summer spell is bringing warm weather to the capital, with temperatures expected to rise significantly over the next few days.
Local weather forecaster KNMI projects clear skies and light winds across the region, making for dry and hot conditions across the province.
While the highest temperatures will affect the southern provinces, afternoon highs in the capital are set to reach near 30 degrees Celsius on Wednesday and Thursday.
Mid-week peak and warm nights
Daily temperatures will build steadily following a mild start to the week, accompanied by light breezes coming in from the southwest.
Clear conditions will persist into the late evenings, keeping nighttime temperatures relatively high in built-up urban areas.
City parks and waterfronts are likely to see increased activity as residents look for places to cool down during the hottest hours of the afternoon.
End of the week forecast
By Friday, humidity levels are expected to rise across the region, bringing a small chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Municipal services generally remind people during warm spells to drink plenty of water and check on vulnerable neighbors.
Conditions are projected to normalize over the weekend, though warm summer weather will likely linger through early next week.
