KNMI Issues Code Yellow for Dense Mist in Northern Provinces

The short early‑morning warning warns of hazardous driving conditions while forecasters expect the mist to lift after sunrise.

Overview

  • The KNMI issued a code yellow warning for dense mist in Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe, Overijssel and Utrecht that runs from 06:00 to 09:00 on Friday.
  • Local observations recorded severely reduced visibility, with Weeronline reporting just 99 metres in Eelde and RTV Utrecht noting about 200 metres in De Bilt.
  • The ANWB cautioned that additional fog banks could form elsewhere in the country, though the south is expected to remain clear.
  • Forecasters say the mist should dissipate after sunrise, so disruptions are likely to be limited to the early‑morning period.
  • Code yellow signals potentially dangerous conditions so drivers are advised to slow down, keep extra distance and follow regional traffic updates relayed by local media.
