The hottest it was this month was in Westdorpe in Zeeland, where the maximum temperature was 15.2 degrees on November 1st. Despite the low temperatures, this November was quite sunny. There was about 85 hours of sunshine, compared to the November average of around 63 hours.
According to Weerplaza, this autumn is full of extremes. Temperatures in the Netherlands went from 33 degrees to -7 degrees in three months.
Three weeks ago the meteorological institute published a map of Norther Eurasia with a highpressure system placed over Siberia sending cold air towards the West. The idea was that if there is a lot of snow cover in Siberia, then light/heat gets reflected back into space leaving the Earth cold http://www.dmi.dk/uploads/pics/billed3.jpgYes, we have been through -40 here J so, even worse than you expected J it was tough to get to work, coz it’s hard to breeze in such cold. However, warm clothes did help! Also this year we have so much snow comparing to previous years, so at times it is hard to walk because the services that are supposed to clean the city from the snow are quite inefficient here.
