Zwolle – Anyone who thought that after this warm weekend it would quickly become cooler will have to wait a little longer. Zwolle is likely to experience four more very warm and sunny days. Inland, the mercury could rise to 33 degrees, especially on Wednesday and Thursday. Only on Friday will the likelihood of rain and thunderstorms increase and a change in weather will approach.
The sun will be working overtime in the coming days. According to Weeronline, warm air will remain over the Netherlands until Thursday. Temperatures of 27 to 32 degrees are expected in Zwolle and the rest of the interior on Monday.
Gray start, sunny day
The day could still start off quite gray on Monday morning. There will be low clouds in many places, with even fog possible in some places. This probably won’t last long. In the morning the sun breaks through and it is almost sunlit afternoon.
Not much will change on Tuesday. It will also be warm and sunny then, although higher cloud fields may pass through. For free folk, the weather will be great to go on the water or find a spot in the shade.

On Wednesday and Thursday 33 degrees is possible.
The warmest part of the week will likely occur on Wednesday and Thursday. Then the wind turns east and brings hot air again. Inland, maximum temperatures are expected to be between 30 and 33 degrees.
There’s also plenty of room for sun these days. As a result, terraces, gardens and areas without shade can quickly become hot. According to Weeronline, the powerful sun can burn unprotected skin within ten to twenty minutes.
Chance of rain on Friday
The atmosphere looks set to become more volatile on Friday. It may still be very warm before the first showers, but the chances of rain and thunderstorms increase as the day goes on.
Cooler air will flow into the Netherlands from the weekend. A northerly wind will bring additional clouds and showers. This appears to have put an end to the very warm summer weather for the time being.
