KNMI Issues Code Yellow for Dense Fog in Dutch Southwest

Visibility may drop below 200 metres, risking morning-commute disruption before the mist is expected to lift later this morning.

Overview

  • KNMI has warned of code yellow for dense, locally very dense fog affecting Zuid-Holland, Zeeland and Noord-Brabant on Tuesday morning.
  • The institute says visibility in the worst spots can fall under 200 metres, creating a clear hazard for drivers and other road users.
  • Regional outlets also report that Friesland is covered by the warning in some areas, reflecting slight variation in local summaries of the affected zone.
  • Authorities and regional media advise slowing down, keeping extra distance and using front fog lights when visibility is under 200 metres; rear fog lights are for under 50 metres.
  • The fog is forecast to dissipate in the second half of the morning, reducing the immediate risk but likely causing delays for the early rush hour.
