In any case, one thing is certain and that is that we cannot say goodbye to the strong wind this weekend. The wind will continue to blow today and tomorrow and because storm Eunice has weakened quite a few trees and caused loose objects, you still have to be careful.
“Talking about annoying wind”
Especially people who live on the coast should be a little careful. “It can get stormy on the coast on Saturday and Sunday, with wind gusts up to 100 kilometers per hour,” Weerplaza weatherman Wilfred Janssen told the newspaper. AD† “The wind is less strong inland, but there are also wind gusts of 75 kilometers per hour. There will be really annoying wind.”
Even more damage
Fortunately, compared to storm Eunice, it is slightly less violent, Janssen acknowledges. “But if we had had calm weeks in terms of wind before this, we would have said it will be really windy this weekend.” The new gusts of wind can just cause more damage. “They can be enough to knock down a tree that the storm has already touched. Or to let loose objects blow off somewhere. So people really have to be careful when they are outside.”
Still intense on Monday
It’s not really hiking weather this weekend anyway, because the wind gusts will be accompanied by the necessary rain showers. Monday it will continue to rage for a while and after that we can enjoy a slightly calmer weather picture.
