Yesterday, was the warmest 2 of June ever recorded in history. The temperature reached at 2.30pm in De Bilt to 29.6°C that breaks the old record of 29.5°C in 1947. The southern part of the country reached 30°C and above.
So Dutch people as sun worshippers, seen outside of their houses. Cafe terraces were full as expected, house gardens were set-up with umbrellas, inflated water pools, and bbq parties were everywhere. Our family of four went for cycling. I actually miscalculated the weather, and it was just too warm for a cycling adventure. However, our children still managed the heat since a cool and huge inflated swimming pool awaited them at our destination.

At least this week, we are having a normal summer days. What a relief, though I am not complaining like other Dutch people, I would be happier to sit outside just enough to warm my face :-). Have a good week everyone and enjoy the Dutch Summer!
