A change in weather patterns is expected, with temperatures cooling gradually, beginning in the northern provinces. This shift is attributed to a northerly wind blowing over the North Sea.

Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The framing is generally neutral. The report presents weather information chronologically and factually, though the emphasis on the exceptionally sunny April might subtly encourage a positive association with the overall weather pattern.
Language Bias
The language used is largely neutral and descriptive, avoiding charged or subjective terminology. There's a slight positive tone in phrases like "perfecte samenloop van omstandigheden" (perfect combination of circumstances), but this is understandable given the pleasant weather.
Bias by Omission
No significant bias by omission detected. The report provides a reasonable overview of the week's weather, although more detailed regional breakdowns could enhance the report. For example, specifying which parts of the country experience the 25-28 degree temperatures would add precision.
