So it was often not really cold, but warm sometimes it was. On December 30, for example, almost all daily records were broken in our country. In Eindhoven the mercury touched 15.5 degrees, in De Bilt it became a maximum of 13.5 degrees. In Westdorpe it did not get colder than 13.1 degrees, which was also unique. Never before had such a high minimum temperature been measured anywhere in the Netherlands in December, according to the weather bureau.
