Dutch meteorologists announce that the cold weather in November 2026 will not necessarily lead to natural ice skating, despite initial signs observed over the weekend of November 7. According to forecasts from Weeronline and reports from NOS Journaal, chances for skating under natural conditions on canals in the Netherlands are low. [1]
Weather facts from the weekend of November 7-8 allowed for limited skating in Winterswijk, in the north of the Netherlands, but this was a temporary exception. Forecasts indicate that conditions are not sufficiently persistent to maintain ice in the long term. [1]
Short-term forecasting shows slightly higher temperatures on Sunday (8-10°C) and Monday (9-10°C), followed by cooling on Tuesday (1-5°C), but without sufficient solid precipitation. Instability will return only from Tuesday, November 17, bypassing most of the week. [1]
For those interested in winter activities, experts recommend skating indoors or at rinks with artificial ice scattered throughout the country, while natural conditions remain uncertain. Normal meteorological conditions for that period are 9-11 degrees Celsius, without stable ice. [1]
