We call this period the sheep shearing cold, explains Weeronline.nl from.
Cold period in spring
Saturday was still mostly sunny, with temperatures reaching 17 degrees. But from Sunday the temperature drops. On the Wadden Islands it will be a maximum of 12 degrees and in Limburg the afternoon temperature will be 15 degrees.
Those are low temperatures for the time of year. Normal temperatures for the end of May are between 17 and 21 degrees. Even after the weekend it will remain cool and changeable, but we do see the sun a little more often than on Sunday.
sheep shearing cold
Still, such a cold period in spring is not too bad, although it often happens in June. It even has a name: sheep shearing cold. The period is so called, because just before the summer there is often a period with cool weather and then it is an ideal time to shear the sheep.

We also have good news: from Tuesday the temperature will rise again. At the end of next week it could just be 24 degrees again. Great chance of a sun-drenched Pentecost weekend…
