Heatwave Memory Lane | Amsterdam News

The Dutch heatwave is officially over — for now — as temperatures dip below 25°C across the country, bringing back that classic summer vibe with sun, clouds, and light showers. But don’t relax: models predict a heat comeback by Thursday, July 9th, with temps possibly soaring above 26°C and hitting the low 30s by next weekend. This recent stretch was no joke — Ell in Limburg declared a 16-day heatwave, matching records in Maastricht and Horst, while De Bilt endured a 12-day official heatwave, making it the 40th national heatwave since 1901 and the longest June heatwave on record. The peak? June 26th saw Ell hit a scorching 39.4°C — the hottest day ever recorded in the country — with De Bilt close behind at 36.8°C, triggering rare Code Orange and Code Red alerts from KNMI and the National Institute for Public Health.
