“We feared justice, but finding a parking space this morning was not that bad,” says Jose (61) from Zaandam, looking at a beach bed on the beach of Zandvoort. Because of the weather forecast, she and her friend Annette (58) from Almere left early for the coast, but it is quieter and less warm than they had expected. “The perfect weather for a nice chat on the beach and reading a good book,” concludes Jose.

In Zandvoort the mercury will fluctuate around 22 degrees on Saturday and there will be a strong wind. They are the perfect conditions for water sports enthusiasts. “The sea is choppy than expected, but the weather is super nice,” says Benjamin Nicolaas (14) as he runs towards the sea in a wetsuit. He clamps his new surfboard under his arm. “I can’t wait to try it out.”
A statement from WeerOnline explains that temperatures were measured mainly in Brabant, Limburg and around the Veluwe. “It was really quite hot, but along the coast it was really not that bad.”

In any case, the half-German Alex de Vos (57) is delighted with the sunny coastal weather. On the bouard of Zandvoort, a camp bed has been set out, he is sunbathing. “I’ve put the bed down so that I don’t have the last of the wind: it’s great.” De Vos lives in Germany, but was in the Netherlands for the concert of The Eagles. “We thought well: we stick a Dutch beach day there: sun, sea, a herring sandwich and a beer.”
It was quite busy in Scheveningen on Saturday, but that had everything to do with Flag Day. Due to the event of this event, where the Dutch traditional is announced in the port, the municipality of The Hague had created an expected scenario of bustle. For example, traffic controllers were deployed and extra enforcers were present open and around the beach.

Although severe weather is still forecast at the beginning of the week after the temperatures, it seems to remain dry in most places in our country on Saturday afternoon. “Perhaps there will be showers from the war zone of the country, but in Brabant it will probably even remain dry,” says WeerOnline. Festival-goers at Pinkpop in Landgraaf will probably be spared a wet day.
