That’s not all. Also on Saturday the temperature rises in many places to values between 28 and 32 degrees. The highest values are expected along the eastern border. In the coastal areas it is 25 to 27 degrees and in the west of Zeeland it is about 23 degrees. The weather regularly shows sun, but stacking clouds also pull over the country and in the second half of the afternoon these inland grow into rain and thunderstorms.
