While the weather outside might look clear, thunderstorms are currently rolling in from the west coast and are expected to hit the Netherlands by late afternoon.
You can expect strong winds during the showers, with gusts of up to 60-70 km/h. Those living near the northwestern coast may want to lie low, as they’ll be on the receiving end of even stronger winds — up to 80 km/h.
