The KNMI has terminated the code orange for extreme heat, which was in effect for the south and southeast of the country. The weather institute expects that the temperature will never rise above 35 degrees tomorrow.
The warm weather of the past few days will continue, but it won’t get as hot as it was the past few days. After Thursday, according to KNMI, “a slow cooling down” will follow. The National Heat Plan of the RIVM will remain in force. As a result, code yellow remains active for the entire country, except for the Wadden Sea.
