The weather looks excellent for the national Sinterklaasintocht (the arrival of Sinterklaas) in Grave today. Fog and fog patches in the centre, south and east clear during the morning, followed by plenty of sunshine. It stays dry everywhere.

The day starts with light frost inland. By the end of the morning it is 3 or 4 degrees inland and 8 at the coast. The maximum temperature is 8 or 9 degrees. The north sees a little more cloud at first.

There is little wind in Grave, but the weak to moderate breeze makes it feel slightly colder, with a feels-like temperature of about 6 degrees. The wind blows from the south to southeast. In the Wadden region it picks up to force 5 this afternoon.

Tonight is clear and cools quickly, with light frost in many inland places. Thin cloud drifts in from the south and thickens there towards morning, and light rain or drizzle is possible in the southeast. The coldest air is in the east and northeast. Lows range from locally -3 degrees inland to 3 degrees on the coast.
