After a dry start to the day, North Holland will experience heavy rain and thunderstorms this afternoon. The KNMI has therefore issued code yellow. The showers can be heavy, especially in the afternoon, with a chance of lots of rain, lightning strikes and strong gusts of wind.
Although it will remain dry in most places this morning, the chance of showers will increase rapidly during the morning.
An area of rain and thunderstorms is moving across the country from the southwest towards the northeast. According to NH weatherman Jan Visser, the showers above North Holland can be locally heavy.
Risk of nuisance
The KNMI warns of thunderstorms, heavy rain with hail and gusts of wind and therefore issues a code yellow. Rijkswaterstaat warns road users of dangerous situations during the evening rush hour. Long traffic jams may arise.
The showers will move from southwest to northeast across the country. According to the KNMI, the showers may also become heavier as they move further north.
The nuisance will probably last until 8 p.m. in the northern provinces.
First warm, then cooling
Before the showers arrive, the temperature will rise to about 25 degrees.
In the evening most showers disappear and it gradually cools down.
Mixed follow-up
The weather will remain unstable tomorrow as well. Sun and cumulus clouds alternate and showers may occur again throughout the day. There is also a chance of thunder.
The temperature will then be around 20 degrees.
After Wednesday it will remain changeable and it will become slightly cooler. The temperature remains below 20 degrees on most days and the chance of showers remains present.
