Dutch term or phrase: Mijn woensdag is trouwens verschrikkelijk zonnig - met flink wat wind!
business
Mike
English translation:My Wednesday is very sunny ...
Explanation:
My Wednesday is very sunny by the way - with quite a bit of wind!

The word 'verschrikkelijk' really means 'terribly' or 'awfully' but in this context I would rather use 'very' instead.

If this is supposed to be business related what sort of business are you in then?

Cheers

I have the feeling this is just casual conversation, maybe in an email or something...so I translated a bit more freely. Hope this helps you!
