The Netherlands is nothing if not consistent, so prepare for heavy rain and thunderstorms to finish off the week.
The KNMI has issued a ‘Code Yellow’ across the country from 10 AM Thursday, reports AD.
That means rain (spoiler: it always means rain), wind gusts of around 65 km/h and — the star of the show — hail.
It’ll be over before the borrel
But fear not! In the west, the warning runs only until 2 PM, just in time to lock down your borrel plans in the group chat.
Eastern provinces get a later start, with Code Yellow in effect from midday until 6 PM.
Planning to sit out at a terrasje into the evening? Layer up because temperatures are set to cool to between 12 and 15 degrees.
It all sounds a bit bleak, but hey, when’s the last time you saw hailstones up to 2cm in diameter? Worth a look out of the window!
