🇳🇱 Want to learn Dutch? Fantastisch! Take the first step and find a Dutch language school

Hold onto your hats: a tornado in the Netherlands today?

Dutch weather can be echt bizarre. After a gloomy spring, the temperatures quickly skyrocketed first into the 20s and then into the 30s, eventually culminating in tropical showers last night. 

Today, it seems that the Dutch weather might surprise us with something we haven’t seen this year yet — a tornado (as hard as that is to believe). 

The Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI) warns against heavy thunderstorms across the country and a tornado this afternoon is “not completely out of the question,” De Telegraaf reports.

The south of the Netherlands can expect thunderstorms with strong wind and hail in the coming hours. Over the course of the afternoon, rain showers will move up north, saving the northeast of the country for last. A code yellow warning is currently in place.

Seven years in the flattest country in Europe has brought her a Masters in Environmental Management, experience in content creation, projects, partnership coordination, and about 20 ideas on how to deal with Dutch winter blues (most of which didn’t work). Her love for the local cycling culture is undying — but she finally knows better than to hop on a bike in a typical Dutch downpour.
