Contrast

 The warm days are a welcome change from the cold in April. The days seem exceptional but, says Ben Lankamp Weather Plaza , which is not so. “Through two weeks of cold is the great contrast, early May is 17 degrees with occasional peaks up normal.”

The next few hot days are thus be warmer than an average day in May. “Around Nijmegen, temperatures average four times to 25 degrees in May,” Lankamp explains. “At the Veluwe and the IJssel valley three times and in the Achterhoek has to make do with two such days.” According Lankamp is the difference in the denser buildings in cities and supply of warm air from the south.

Hours of sun

 So it is warmer than in Arnhem and Nijmegen in the Achterhoek. But the hours of sunshine are equal. “On average, all parts of Gelderland four to five days sunlit days in the whole month of May,” says Lankamp. Weather Plaza refers to a sunny day when the sun shines 80 percent in one day. In May, the sun can shine 15 to 16 hours a day. So the sun must shine at least 12 hours for Weather Plaza the day as sunlit dubs.

Forecast

 After Monday comes gradually cloud up. Lankamp: “Probably draw there from Tuesday, showers and thunderstorms from the south our country.” With maximum temperatures of around 24 degrees, however, it remains too early next week warm for this time of the year
