After a cloudy start, more sunshine may break through from the east on Monday. The KNMI expects more changeable weather thereafter, with an increasing chance of cold nights and possibly the first local frost.
According to the KNMI model assessment, the expected improvement on Monday is linked to drier air moving into the Netherlands from the east. According to the KNMI model assessment, the cloud will gradually clear in many places during the afternoon. According to that forecast, the south-west may still start the morning grey because of low cloud and locally foggy conditions.
An easterly wind will initially blow along the coast on Monday and may be strong. The KNMI reports wind force 6 for the northern coastal districts. According to the KNMI forecast, the wind will strengthen there again in the evening, and wind force 7 may be reached locally on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, a new frontal zone will move in from the south. The KNMI then expects more cloud again and possibly rain, initially in the south and later over a wider area. This means that Monday's sunshine is not a shift towards stable autumn weather for the rest of the week.
The first frost is primarily expected on clear nights and in sheltered locations. Whether and where temperatures actually fall below zero depends on cloud, wind and local conditions. It is still uncertain whether frost will occur locally.
The weather pattern may nevertheless become noticeable in household energy use. A colder night increases demand for heating, but the effect varies by home and heating system. The KNMI describes a weather forecast; the eventual temperatures remain dependent on the models.
