Sun worshipers can expect a wonderful Pentecost weekend. The temperature is rising and the sun is shining brightly. “It is wise to keep the sunscreen nearby,” emphasizes Alfred Snoek of Weerplaza.
According to Alfred, it will also be fun this Friday. “It looked beautiful in Brabant early in the morning,” he said in the radio program ‘WAKKER!’ on Omroep Brabant. “Lots of sunshine and little wind. The sun causes the temperature to shoot up like a rocket. In the afternoon it is about 20 degrees in many places.”
“Don’t forget to grease!”
A cumulus cloud does appear now and then, but according to the weatherman, that may spoil the fun. “The sun is working overtime today. In addition, there is a breeze from the northeast in the afternoon. It is moderately strong. In very open areas this will be wind force 4, but in most places it will not exceed wind force 3. In addition, it is with lots of sunshine and 20 degrees downright warm.”
He warns of the power of the sun. That is significant at the moment. “This is usual at this time of the year. We are almost at the highest sun position. On Friday afternoon we are dealing with sun strength 7 in many places. If your skin is not yet used to the sun, it burns quickly. So: go outside for a longer period of time this afternoon, don’t forget to lubricate!”
“It looks very, very good!”
During Pentecost we get similar weather. “Even then it is wise to keep the sunscreen nearby. There will be a lot of sunshine on Saturday, at a temperature of 22 or 23 degrees. Maybe we will add another degree in a few places on Sunday. Monday, with a somewhat stronger northeast wind and a few more clouds, it will be a bit cooler, but even then it will remain dry and we will have a temperature of 18 to 20 degrees, comparable to the weather picture of this Friday. So it looks very good!”
