The meteorologist says the Netherlands is heading into a multi-day heat wave, with tropical 30°C heat already reached in the south and 35–38°C possible in parts of the mid, southeast, and south by Wednesday through Friday. He advises staying cool, hydrating, using green/shaded places or water, and keeping homes closed after cool nights are used for ventilation; the heat likely breaks in the weekend with increased rain/thunderstorm chances.

This is a short weather segment centered on a clear near-term forecast: temperatures are already high and will become substantially hotter over the next several days. Donnie de Koning, identified as a meteorologist at Weer Plaza, says that on Tuesday the north is still relatively mild at 25–26°C, but from Wednesday “it’s actually tropical warm everywhere” with more than 30°C. He adds that in a large part of the country, especially the mid, southeast, and south, temperatures may rise well above 35°C, with Friday likely the hottest day and local readings in the southeast potentially reaching 38°C. A notable detail is the timing around Friday night, when the Netherlands national team is playing at 1:00 a.m. …
Immediate setup is extreme heat across the Netherlands through Friday, with the highest risk in the south and southeast and very little rain relief. The tactical watchpoint is whether midnight conditions stay near 30°C and whether the forecasted peak actually reaches the upper-30s locally.
Over the next week or so, the base case is a weekend transition toward slightly cooler but still warm conditions, plus a higher chance of showers or thunderstorms. If that shift is delayed, the hot regime extends; if it arrives on time, temperatures normalize only partially rather than collapsing.
The structural takeaway is that the Netherlands can experience short, intense heat episodes that force behavior changes in housing, routines, and public safety. Even after the heat breaks, the climate background remains warm enough that 25°C is still treated as above normal.
In the south and center of the Netherlands, temperatures could rise well above 35°C on Wednesday through Friday, with local highs near 38°C in the southeast.
