Overview
- Forecasters expect a short period of ijzel overnight as milder air arrives, with code orange in parts of the country and code yellow elsewhere for difficult-to-see slipperiness.
- -11.6°C was measured in Eelde after a very cold night, and windchill values dropped locally below -15°C, according to KNMI.
- Examples of timing include Groningen under code orange roughly 02:00–10:00 and Brabant from around midnight to 05:00 before downgrading, with temperatures on Monday forecast to rise to 6–8°C.
- Rijkswaterstaat’s koudeprotocol remains in effect to quickly assist stranded motorists, NS runs a winter timetable, and bus operators warn of possible delays due to icy patches.
- A warehouse fire in The Hague triggered GRIP1 and temporary evacuation of several dozen homes with no injuries reported, while two cars burned in Utrecht are under investigation and icy roads contributed to crashes including a jackknifed truck on the A27.
