Amsterdam Marathon runners face raw autumn weather on Sunday, next week starts drier and sunnier

Runners participating in the Amsterdam Marathon on Sunday contended with cold, wet weather and challenging winds. Meteorologists predict a brief period of drier, sunnier weather early next week before rainy conditions return on Wednesday.

Participants in the Amsterdam Marathon faced challenging conditions on Sunday morning as cold temperatures of around 10 degrees Celsius combined with persistent rain. The weather remained overcast throughout the afternoon, with a moderate northeast wind making the route along the Amstel river particularly difficult for runners. Temperatures did not exceed 12 degrees as the rainy weather gradually moved toward the North Sea.

Conditions are expected to improve significantly starting Monday, with more sunshine and dry weather forecasted as temperatures reach approximately 14 degrees. While Tuesday will offer a pleasant autumn day, weather models indicate a return to unsettled, rainy conditions by Wednesday. Despite these fluctuations, temperatures throughout the coming week are expected to remain relatively stable between 13 and 14 degrees.
