KNMI Issues Code Yellow for Dense Fog Across Five Dutch Provinces

Low visibility below 200 metres is creating hazardous conditions for drivers, prompting specific safety advice as the fog is expected to clear later in the morning.

Overview

  • The KNMI issued a code yellow for locally dense fog in parts of Gelderland, Utrecht, Limburg, Noord‑Brabant and Overijssel on Saturday morning, November 14, 2026.
  • Visibility fell below 200 metres in some places, which the KNMI warns can cause dangerous situations for road users.
  • Drivers are advised to slow down and leave extra distance to other road users, and to use front fog lights when visibility is under 200 metres and rear fog lights when it falls below 50 metres.
  • The warning window was shortened from 10:30 to 09:30, reflecting an updated expectation that the fog will lift sooner than initially forecast.
  • Regional reports highlighted particular pockets of dense mist, including the northeast of Noord‑Brabant and southern, central and eastern parts of Utrecht, and motorists should expect possible delays while the mist persists.
