Wind gusts will be moving from the southwest to the northeast of the country, reaching up to 100 kilometres per hour on the coast and 80 km/h inland.

Experts also warn that the wind may affect road and air traffic. Needless to say, cycling won’t be the easiest task either. Maybe stick to public transport until Thursday rolls around. 🚃
