‘Wind and showers determine the weather today’, says Raymond Klaassen, weatherman at Weerplaza. ‘Locally there can be a lot of rain. In some showers there is a chance of thunderstorms, hail and heavy wind gusts of 75 to 100 kilometers per hour. The wind in the southwest and south is especially strong during the morning rush hour. But it’s also turbulent this afternoon.’

The expected wind gusts could cause local damage, according to the weatherman. Strong gusts of wind can cause branches to fall off trees. Loose objects on the street can also go for a walk. An active disturbance is moving across the country during the night and morning, resulting in heavy showers with possible thunderstorms. It occasionally rains heavily and the wet conditions will hinder traffic.’
