Normal on Ascension Day
The average temperature on Ascension Day has been at 18 degrees since 1995. It was the warmest in 2020: then it became 26.7 degrees in De Bilt. A few years before, in 2014, it was very cold with 11.8 degrees.
After Ascension
Good news for Zoetermeerders who also have a day off on Friday: most rain pulls away on Thursday night. It will probably remain dry on Friday, but it is cloudy. Would you like to go outside this weekend? According to Verena, it is best to do that on Saturday. That day it is dry and the sun occasionally appears. The temperature is then 18 to 22 degrees. The rain is back on Sunday.
