Overview

• KNMI expanded code yellow wind alerts to cover coastal and inland provinces with staggered time windows from early Saturday morning into the evening.
• Gusts around 80–90 km/h are expected, strongest at the coast, as winds shift to a brisk west–southwest flow during the passage of an active front.
• Forecasters expect 20–50 mm of rain locally, and the Delfland water board activated its rainfall protocol to lower water levels in anticipation.
• Organizers canceled outdoor events including the ROETZ Festival in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel and a public-safety open day in Gouda due to the forecast.
• Inland waters such as the IJsselmeer and Markermeer face force 7–8 conditions that can restrict the Markerwaarddijk, with risks peaking Saturday before easing later in the weekend.
