Wind gusts of 80 to 90 kilometers per hour are expected on the coast and in the south of the country on Sunday afternoon, while wind gusts of up to 100 kilometers per hour can occur in the coastal area on Sunday evening. The wind will first come from a southwesterly direction, but will then turn to a westerly wind.
In addition to strong winds, it will also rain a lot today. Raymond Klaassen from Weather Plaza speaks of a ‘soaked Sunday’. In many places across the country, around 30 mm of precipitation is expected in the next 24 hours and ‘locally even more than 40 mm is possible’, says Klaassen.
Due to the strong wind, vaccination locations against the corona virus are closed in several places in the country. In and around Rotterdam, these are vaccination locations near the SS Rotterdam and the Poortugaal metro station in the municipality of Albrandswaard. In the north of North Holland, the vaccination location in Middenmeer will remain closed all Sunday. People who then have an injection appointment can go to the vaccination location in the village of Hem, between Hoorn and Enkhuizen. The puncture location in Alkmaar will remain closed until 2 p.m., and people who had an appointment before that can come by in the afternoon.
