Heavy thunderstorms, hail and Sahara sand on the way in Zoetermeer

After a few sunny days, the weather in Zoetermeer will change on Thursday afternoon. Instead of the suntan tube you have to take the raincoat. The KNMI has issued a code yellow.

In the east of the country, according to the KNMI, there is a chance of wind gusts of 60 to 75 kilometers per hour. But even here in the west things can go wrong. In addition, so much rain and hail falls in a short time that code yellow has been issued for the entire country. “This can hinder traffic and outdoor activities,” according to the KNMI†

Pressingly warm

Although the temperature drops, it doesn’t get very cold. In fact, according to the meteorologists of WeerOnline, it will be oppressively hot. The maximum temperature is between 20 degrees at the sea and 30 degrees in the south.

End of the Zoetermeer summer days

It will be cooler in Zoetermeer after Thursday. On Friday it will be 20 degrees on average. It will rain again in many places, including in Zoetermeer. Friday promises to be the wettest day of the week, according to Weeronline. From 0 to 4.5 mm on Thursday, to 15.8 mm on Friday, suddenly a lot more water ends up in our city.

Drought in Zoetermeer

Although it may rain a lot in Zoetermeer on Thursday and Friday, the drought will continue. This is according to WeatherOnline because the ground closes during a heavy rain shower, so that water flows into the ditch instead of into the ground. Drizzle is better because it gradually ends up on the ground in small amounts.

Sahara sand is coming back

The change of weather not only brings rain, but also another inconvenience: Sahara sand is coming back! This means that your car may shine less than before and there is a risk of crowds in the Zoetermeer car washes.
