On Sunday evening, storm Isha can cause heavy wind gusts of up to 110 kilometers per hour, which is why the KNMI has issued a code yellow. The wind comes from a south-westerly direction. Before the storm arrives, it will be very slippery tomorrow morning due to winter precipitation, and the weather institute has also issued a code yellow for the slipperiness.
The code yellow for heavy gusts of wind applies from Sunday 9 p.m. to Monday morning 9 a.m. The KNMI calls on people to be alert, drive slower and keep a greater distance from other road users.
