There is good news for the Zoetermeer residents who are tired of all the rain! “It is still wet on April 1, but after that the chance of precipitation decreases sharply and the sun comes out more often,” says Jaco.
Fresh start
In the first half of April, according to Jaco, the wind usually blows from the north or east, bringing in fresh air. It will then be a maximum of between 9 and 12 degrees. At night about 4 degrees is normal in April, but this year it can still freeze occasionally.
Easter weekend
Jaco: “If all goes well, the afternoon temperature will be a bit higher from the Easter weekend. Think of about 11 degrees on the Wadden to 14 in the southeast. But the weather models are not yet in agreement on this.” Well, as long as it stays dry in Zoetermeer, then we can look for eggs outside.

Second half
The second half of April is expected to give slightly warmer temperatures. “Extremely warm spring weather is not expected, but the average temperature is a lot higher than earlier in the month. At the end of April we can normally count on 14 degrees in the northwest to 18 in the southeast. On a somewhat warmer day, the temperature can then peak towards 20 degrees,” says Jaco. That would of course be very nice during the festivities on King’s Day in Zoetermeer! View the program here.
