In Zoetermeer we can walk dry most of the day, says Matthijs. The sun will also be visible a lot in the morning. So you can already take the sunglasses with you when you go to the flea market.
Sweater or T-shirt
Apart from the sunglasses, the question is whether you can go outside in a sweater or T-shirt. Matthijs: “In the morning it is sunny in Zoetermeer. It is cool with a degree or 10 Celsius. In the afternoon there will be cumulus clouds and the sun will be less visible. As a result, it will not get much warmer than 10 to 12 degrees. Rain will come from the southwest in the early afternoon, but those drops will not reach Zoetermeer until the evening.” It is therefore good to take a sweater with you to the clothing market just to be on the safe side. You don’t have to worry that the rugs will blow away, because little wind is predicted. (View the program for King’s Day 2023 in Zoetermeer here).
King’s Day 2020 was the warmest King’s Day ever measured according to the KNMI. A temperature of 20.7 degrees was then measured in De Bilt. In 2016, the temperature remained at 10.7 degrees, making it the coldest King’s Day.
King’s Day in Zoetermeer
Despite the fact that the temperature is not very high in Zoetermeer, you can still celebrate the king’s birthday in a fun way. Because the orange tompouces from HEMA, Jongerius Bakker and Bakker Ammerlaan taste delicious at any temperature! And for a glass of orange bitters you can of course go to one of the terraces on Stadhuisplein or in Dorpsstraat. Whatever the weather: have fun!
