Netherlands June 2024 Heat Record | Amsterdam News

June in the Netherlands went off the charts this year, becoming the second-warmest on record with an average of 19.2°C—way up from the norm—and capped by a brutal, record-smashing heatwave that triggered the country’s first-ever “code red” alert for extreme heat. Temperatures in De Bilt soared to 23°C, with the final ten days averaging a scorching 23.8°C. Schools shut down, events canceled, and even bridges buckled under the strain. Thunderstorms added to the chaos, with multiple “code orange” warnings issued. June 27th saw Maastricht’s overnight temps barely dip below 22.9°C. This wasn’t just heat—it was a climate warning in action, with record-breaking extremes and a clear sign of shifting weather patterns we can’t ignore.
