Netherlands Extends Yellow Weather Warning for Snow and Ice to Sunday Noon

Cold polar air channels persistent shower bands toward inland communities.

Overview

  • KNMI prolonged its code yellow advisory to Sunday at 12:00, after initially planning to end it on Saturday at 13:00.
  • Snow, hail and occasional thundersnow are being reported, with about 6–7 centimeters measured near the Rijk van Nijmegen while nearby areas see far less.
  • Inland zones such as Gelderland and the area around Gorinchem have the highest chance of sustained snow cover, whereas coastal districts stay milder due to the North Sea.
  • Slippery roads and crowded parking areas are causing practical problems including vehicles needing a push to get moving, and road-gritting crews are out early.
  • Forecasters expect fewer snow showers next week, though lingering snow could help drive nighttime lows to roughly -5 to -10 °C in parts of the Krimpenerwaard, Alblasserwaard and Hoeksche Waard.
