If you are planning to hit the roads with your auto or fiets, pas op! You’ll may be facing frozen roads.
We are having some rain today, and it’s quite likely that it will freeze on the roads immediately. The KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute) gave a code orange today to the provinces of Limburg, Noord-Brabant and Gelderland.
They also issued a code yellow to the provinces of Utrecht, Flevoland, Overijssel, Drenthe, and Groningen.
Already many accidents
As a result of the slippery roads, there were already many accidents reported on the roads last night by the ANWB, especially around Arnhem and Nijmegen.
The A12 highway from Germany towards Arnhem was also closed for some time, due to the high number of accidents.

Melting for the rest of the week
The roads will gradually start to melt in the afternoon, in many parts of the country, the maximum temperature will be already around 9 degrees Celsius.
The rest of the week will be without freezing, and we can even see the sun sometimes, especially in the northern provinces! Elsewhere there are more clouds, in fact, the cloud cover remains largely closed in the southeast.
Cold and sunny weekend
While the sun is planning to stay, to help to survive these grey mounts, the temperature will go back close to zero again. We can also enjoy some real Dutch western wind as well!
