The first ten days of January are record heat, Weeronline reports. “The average temperature is 9.3 degrees against 3.8 degrees normal,” said meteorologist Rico Schröder.
The previous record was 8.8 degrees and was measured in the first ten days of 2007.
The first ten days of the new year we have extremely mild weather. The previous record dates from 2007. In that year it averaged 8.8 degrees during the first decade (a period of ten days). In 2014 it became 8.5 degrees over the same period.
Already several records this year
,,That the first ten days of the year are record warm is not really a surprise. The turn of the year was already record warm with a temperature of 15.5 degrees in De Bilt at midnight,” says Schröder. The previous record of 12.1 degrees during the turn of the year in 2006-2007 was thus more than broken.
The temperature on the record warm turn of the year continued on New Year’s Day. Immediately at 1:00 am, the weather records for the first of January were broken. In De Bilt it was 15.6 degrees and the old record from 2022 with 13.2 degrees was pulverized. In Eindhoven it even became 16.9 degrees, not previously measured in January.
So far still very soft
“It will also remain very mild in the coming days, with temperatures often in the double digits,” Schröder reports. This Monday it will be a bit ‘colder’ with maxima of about 8 degrees, but the mercury will rise again in the coming days. For example, it will be very mild again on Tuesday evening and in the night to Wednesday with temperatures in the double digits. It will be over 11 degrees.
The following days it slowly becomes less soft, but there is no question of clearly too cold weather for the time being. Values of about 6 degrees are common at this time of year, but the mercury rises (well) above that every day.
