Figures for September 26, 2026
Every visitor tells us whether they are wearing shorts today. Here is what that adds up to — nationally, by province, and across the past two weeks.
Nobody has voted yet today
As soon as the first visitors cast their vote, today's percentage appears here — with the number of votes behind it. You could be the first.
All twelve provinces are listed. A province only gets a percentage from 8 votes onwards — below that it would mean nothing.
Each bar is one day. Its height is the share of votes for shorts; days without votes stay empty.
On the home page every visitor answers one question: are you wearing shorts today, yes or no. One vote per visitor per day. The index is simply the share of yes votes on that day — no weighting, no model, and not a sample that represents the country.
That is why the number of votes is always shown alongside it. A province with fewer than 8 votes gets no percentage but the note ‘too few votes’: with three voters, 67% is noise rather than a fact.
The counter starts again every night at midnight, Dutch time. Votes from outside the Netherlands count towards the national figure but never appear on the map.
