Dutch New Year's to bring rotten weather; Only 27 hours of sunshine in gloomy December

NL Times  

The sun has shined for just 27 hours so far in December in the Netherlands. Every day through the end of the year carries a chance of sunshine of only about 10 percent, according to Dutch meteorological office KNMI. The chance of stormy weather with stiff wind gusts and heavier rain will build on New Year's Eve. The KNMI noted the uncertainty, with heavy gusts possible along the North Sea coast on New Year's Day, making for a potentially unpleasant annual New Year's Dive at Scheveningen Beach in The Hague. Nevertheless, New Year's Day will see a 70 percent chance of rain, and January 2 will carry an 80 percent chance of rain.
