Overview
- The KNMI has declared a code yellow warning for dense mist covering almost the entire country, including the province of Utrecht.
- Visibility has fallen in places to under 200 metres and is expected to stay poor overnight into the morning before gradually improving toward the end of the morning.
- Weeronline and regional reports say the mist formed widely in recent hours and will persist through the night, increasing the chance of delays during the morning rush.
- Motorists are advised to drive with caution, use front fog lights in dense mist, and only switch on rear fog lights when visibility drops below 50 metres to avoid blinding other drivers.
- Code yellow is the KNMI's lowest public alert level but signals hazardous conditions that merit extra care on roads and could cause slow traffic and minor incidents during peak travel times.
