If you think you will start the new year quietly in Zoetermeer, you will be disappointed. In terms of weather conditions, because 2025 is off to a turbulent start with strong winds and rain. Fortunately, the weather on the first day of the year is not a harbinger for the rest of January.

Because Jaco van Wezel, meteorologist at Weatheronlinetells us the following: “The weather models show clear signals for drier weather in the middle and end of January.”
Light frost
After one record warm year You may think that the chance of snow is small, but according to Jaco, nothing could be further from the truth: “The temperature drops to about five degrees during the day and around zero degrees at night. This is still quite uncertain because the border between soft and cold air is close to our country. As a result, it can also become a few degrees colder with light frost, or remain slightly milder.”
Suppose you are training your donuts at the gym and you need to have a chat while you are waiting in front of the cross trainer, then it is a perfect theme for a chat.
Approach this conversation prepared and throw in a good weather spell! Such as: If the frost does not want to come in January, then certainly in April. Or: If January has cold and dry days, winter will plague you in February.
If the rain is pouring down, you can still throw this spell at it: Lots of rain in January, which brings little blessing to the fruits. With these sayings you can have a chat quickly and the cross trainer will be free again in no time!
Snow and ice
Jaco says that snow lovers can hope for some snow. Because colder temperatures are associated with a greater chance of precipitation. If precipitation falls and it freezes in Zoetermeer, snow may fall. To complete the winter picture, there is also hope for skating enthusiasts.
“In a normal January month we have often seen that it became colder for a week and there was local skating fun,” says Jaco. This January seems to be more wintry than last December, so get your skates ready.
