Snow is expected to fall across the Netherlands during the first weekend of 2026.
Most parts of the Netherlands are expected to see snowfall during the first weekend of 2026, with forecasts of winter conditions in large areas of the country, according to the weather agency Weeronline.
New Year's Day is likely to remain dry but windy, while New Year's Eve is expected to be gloomy with rain and possibly some wet snow, although it is unlikely to accumulate on the ground.
Winter conditions are expected to become more severe starting Saturday, with heavy rainfall bringing snow and possibly hail. The inland areas are most likely to see snow accumulation due to lower temperatures compared to coastal areas.
Frost is expected in most parts of the country on Saturday evening, except for coastal areas. On Sunday, daytime temperatures are expected to range between 0 and 3 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist Johnny Williamson pointed out that the highest chance of snowfall will be during the night and morning, with a possibility of it continuing throughout the day on Sunday.
Looking ahead to next week, the weather is expected to be drier and sunnier, with temperatures remaining near freezing. The long-term forecasts from KNMI do not indicate any definitive predictions for mid-January, leaving the possibility of additional winter weather uncertain.
