With barely any wind and rising temperatures finally easing the stinging winter chill, it’s time to step outside and soak up what we’ve been missing.
While foggy mornings will still take a while to shake, sunshine and higher temperatures will break through the cold starts, RTL Nieuws reports.
First, fight off the fog
Of course, the sun faces obstacles in its bid to dominate the Dutch skies this week.
The KNMI gave a code yellow warning until 10 AM for dense fog in parts of the country, particularly in South Holland, Utrecht, North Holland, Flevoland, Friesland and Limburg.
