The Netherlands has recorded its first official frost of the autumn, with the temperature dropping to -1.4 degrees, according to De Telegraaf. The measurement, reported on Saturday, 7 November 2026, marks the first official frost of the season.
The cold snap was felt across the country. NU reported the first national frost day of the autumn, noting that ice skating was possible in Winterswijk. Omroep Zeeland reported the first frost measured in Zeeland and looked ahead to how cold the weekend would become, while RTV Utrecht simply noted that freezing temperatures had returned.
According to Omroep Brabant, the first night frost is now a fact, though it arrived considerably later than usual. That outlet's reporting places this year's first frost behind the typical timing for the season.
The frost follows a period in which daytime temperatures had not yet fallen below freezing overnight. With the first official measurement now in, attention turns to the weekend, with regional broadcasters already tracking how cold conditions will get.
