KNMI Issues Code Yellow for Thunderstorms in Limburg and North Brabant
The alert warned of 60 km/h gusts, hail up to 1 cm, with 20–30 mm of local rain likely to trigger short-term flooding and travel disruption.
Overview
- The KNMI placed parts of Limburg and North Brabant under a code yellow thunderstorm warning that began Saturday evening and was expected to run into the early hours of Sunday.
- The weather institute warned of wind gusts around 60 km/h, hailstones near 1 cm in diameter, and localized rainfall of 20–30 mm.
- Meteorologists tracked the storm cells over Belgium moving northeast into southern Dutch provinces during the late evening.
- Local reporting from Brabant said the actual nuisance overnight proved very limited, with little damage or disruption compared with expectations.
- The warning followed stronger code orange storms the previous day that caused lightning-related house fires and transport disruption, so residents are advised to monitor KNMI updates because storm impact can vary sharply from day to day.
