Preparing for Intense Storms: Limburg Faces a Wet Saturday Afternoon
Limburg residents and visitors should stay alert as the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) warns of thunderstorms this Saturday afternoon. Starting mid-afternoon, a yellow code alert is in effect for Limburg due to heavy rain, hail up to 2 cm, and wind gusts around 60 km/h.
What to Expect: Rain, Hail, and Wind Gusts
The storms may cause local flooding and disruption to traffic and outdoor activities, especially in Limburg's hilly southern areas. The weather will sharply contrast with the morning’s warm and sunny start.
Unseasonably Warm Start to the Day
Saturday morning will feel summery, with temperatures between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius—well above the usual 17 to 21 degrees for late May.
Sharp Change as Summer Begins
Despite the warm start, Sunday will bring cooler temperatures ranging from 18 to 23 degrees Celsius as meteorological summer begins. Some light showers inland are possible, but overall drier conditions are expected.
The June Forecast: Unsettled Start, Warmer Finish
Early June is likely to be changeable, with cooler air and occasional showers. By mid-month, weather should become drier and warmer, potentially reaching 25 degrees or higher in the latter half of June.
Advice for Limburg: Stay Alert
The KNMI yellow alert advises caution but no panic. Keep updated on weather changes should you be outdoors or traveling in Limburg Saturday afternoon and evening. Other parts of the Netherlands will mainly enjoy dry, sunny weather but stay prepared for evening changes.
Meteorologists will monitor the storms and changing weather closely. Whether June unfolds into a hot summer remains uncertain.
