Cloud and some further inland showers were forecast into the afternoon, as morning temperatures ranged between 15 to 17 degrees Celsius on Monday.
Rain will continue to slowly clear, with the help of predominantly northwesterly winds strongest at the coast, but the day will feel cooler than it looks with afternoon highs of 18-20 degrees.
The unsettled weather will continue into Monday evening and overnight as more showers are expected to push inland from the North Sea. Overnight minimums could drop to 9C in the north and between 11C and 14C elsewhere.
Chilly Start, but a Shift in the Weather Ahead
Tuesday will also see the same story play out, with more scattered showers, overcast skies, and cooler than average temperatures that will range between 17 and 19. These numbers are well below seasonal averages that typically reach daytime highs ranging between 21 and 24 degrees in early July.
But it gets a little bit more pleasant from Wednesday. Apart from some early showers through the east, most of the country will be dry with longer spells of sunshine and milder temperatures of about 20 to 22 degrees. While there will still be gusty northwest winds, the UV index will inch higher to 6 — high enough to burn after 15 to 25 minutes without protection.
Increasing Sunshine and a Gradual Warm-Up
The rest of the week into Thursday looks dry with good amounts of sunshine across the country. At the coast maximum temperatures of 21 degrees are forecast, inland it might be as warm as 24 degrees with little northerly wind.
The warm-up will last through the weekend. Highs Friday should rise to 22 to 24 degrees, and by Saturday and Sunday, inland areas could hit 27, maybe 28 degrees. The temperatures herald a return to more summer-like conditions, although there is no sign of a long spell of hot weather at this stage, say meteorologists.
