Temperatures in the Netherlands were expected to fall to a maximum of 15 degrees the following day, with stronger winds and rain. Residents interviewed in Huizen said they did not yet plan to turn on their heating, saying their homes remained warm enough and were often well insulated. High energy prices did not appear to be the main factor in their decision, although residents said they were aware of the costs. Some said they would put on a sweater before turning on the heating. One resident said their apartment stayed around 20 degrees in winter without concern about the energy bill, while reaching about 36 degrees in summer.
