Perfect walking conditions for a historic event in Nijmegen
Meteorological service Weeronline expects highly favourable walking weather for the world's largest walking event, the Nijmegen Marches, which begins this Tuesday. Daytime temperatures will hover between 20 and 22 degrees, offering ideal conditions for the tens of thousands of global participants tackling up to 50 kilometres a day. While minor mid-week showers are possible, conditions will remain stable before warming up for Friday's grand finale on the Via Gladiola, though weekend festival-goers should pack a jacket for cooler evening temperatures.
