‘White Christmas’, ‘Let it snow’, ‘Winter Wonderland’… Many Christmas songs sing about a white Christmas, but it won’t happen this year either. Wouter van Bernebeek from Weerplaza said this on Friday morning in the radio program ‘WAKKER!’ on Omroep Brabant. It will be cloudy on both Christmas days.
That is also the case this Friday. We must take showers into account. “These are sometimes accompanied by hail and thunder,” Wouter said on the radio. “The wind is a lot less windy this Friday than on Thursday, which is a big difference. In the afternoon we averaged wind force 4. On Thursday we still had to deal with occasional heavy gusts of wind, which we have here and there in the Netherlands. which caused some damage, but here in Brabant it wasn’t too bad. Most of the wind was in the north of the Netherlands.”
“The wind will be strong again on Sunday.”
It will be 10 or 11 degrees on Friday afternoon. We will hold this again at the weekend. According to Wouter, it will be around 10 degrees on Saturday and it could even be 13 degrees on Sunday. Way too hot for the time of year.
“Both days it is cloudy and there is often rain. On Sunday there will be strong winds again, wind force 5.”
“We don’t have to assume winter scenes for the time being.”
“If we then look at the Christmas holidays, Christmas Day – Monday – is by far the least day,” Wouter says. “It’s cloudy and it rains for a long time.” It will be about 12 degrees.
According to him, Boxing Day is looking a bit better. “It will be dry in most places, especially in the afternoon. The sun will occasionally come out. That will be an afternoon to go out. This is also possible after all that rain. Tuesday will be a degree less mild than Monday, but we do not have to expect winter scenes for the time being.”
