The clocks go forward one hour on Saturday night as the Netherlands moves into summer time.

The shift always takes place on the last weekend in March, while the clocks go back to winter time on the last weekend in October.

According to weather bureau Weeronline, the weekend will be chillier than of late, with temperatures no higher than 12° and a mix of sunshine, cloud, and rain.

And if the weather is right, sky watchers may also be able to see a partial eclipse of the sun between 11:17 and 13:04 on Saturday morning.

From Monday, however, it will be sunny and warm, with the temperature rising to as high as 20° as the week progresses. The nights will be clear and chilly, with temperatures close to zero, Weeronline said.
