What does ‘code yellow’ mean?
In case of code yellow, the RMI warns to be ‘vigilant’. A code yellow can be proclaimed for a maximum of 48 hours for the weather phenomenon in question and when there is at least 65 percent certainty that the criteria are met. In this case, a warning is given for thunderstorms with a lot of precipitation in a short time: up to 30 liters of precipitation per square meter in 1 hour.
The thunderstorm is the result of a series of heavy rain and thunderstorms that move over our country from France. In 50 departments, code orange applies to thunderstorms until Sunday morning. The storm took the life of a woman on Saturday who got stuck in her car that was dragged by the water.
Monday cooler and again a chance of showers, which can also be accompanied by a thunderclap. The maximums fluctuate between 16 and 21 degrees.
Tuesday shower activity is increasing again, with especially intense showers south of Sambre and Maas. The mercury climbs to temperatures between 16 and 21 degrees.
