Next week doesn't look bad for holidays in the Netherlands. It is a bit changeable with occasional rain, but also with regular sunshine. The chance of rainy days is very small.

So the chance of warmer than average weather is slim, but indoors the temperature will be between 16 to 19 degrees daily. On sunny afternoons with light winds, temperatures can also exceed 20 degrees. In coastal areas, the weather is cooler, with northern (westerly) winds blowing.
