Hello and welcome to this live blog. Here we keep you informed of the thunderstorm and tropical temperatures in the Netherlands and in the rest of Europe.
A fallen tree ended up on a car in Winterswijk.
A lot of precipitation has fallen in the Achterhoek and Twente in a short time: about 20-40 millimeters. Weerplaza warns that the southeast of Drenthe will also suffer from heavy rain showers.
In the east of the country this evening falls several loose showers that can turn out very brightly locally. Then the precipitation leaves for Germany. There are already hefty showers there.
Roads around Winterswijk Close through over -blown trees around Winterswijk, located in the province of Gelderland, several roads are closed by fallen trees. It concerns the N318 and N319.
In Gelderland, Code Oranje was previously applied due to heavy showers and gusts of wind. At an amateur weather station in Winterswijk, a gust of wind of 113 kilometers per hour was measured. Earlier, the roof of a business premises collapsed by heavy showers in the Gelderse town.
Nu.nl reader Ine sends that her dog Max has not cooled down despite the showers. He has since become a “hot dog”, she says.
Also no longer code orange for thunderstorms code orange is over throughout the country. In the provinces of Limburg, Gelderland, Drenthe and Overijssel, only Code Geel now applies. Code Geel is also in force in Noord-Brabant and Groningen. The KNMI warns of thunderstorms, small hailstones, gusts of wind and lots of rain in a short time.
No more Code Oranje Due to heat the Code Oranje Due to extreme heat, has now been terminated throughout the country. The mercury has fallen everywhere to below 30 degrees. There is still orange code for heavy thunderstorms in a few provinces. This is the current state of affairs:
Thirteen weather stations note a heat wave on thirteen weather stations is today listed a heat wave. These are the Limburg weather stations Arcen, Ell and Maastricht, the Brabant stations Woensdrecht, Gilze-Rijen, Eindhoven and Volkel, the Zeeland Westdorpe, the Gelderland Herwijnen and Deelen, De Bilt, Rotterdam and Schiphol.
Yesterday there was already a regional heat wave in Eindhoven, after the temperature for the third day in a row rose to 30 degrees or more. The Brabant city was the only place where the Kwik already indicated 30 degrees or more on Sunday.
Because in De Bilt today, 30 degrees or more was measured for the third day in a row, there is also a national heat wave. It is the first time since 2022 that that happens.
Rainwater gushes through the roof of business premises in Winterswijk
The roof of the Winterswijk business premises is collapsing in the roof of a business premises on the Rondweg Zuid in Winterswijk, partly collapsed. There was no one in the building anymore and so there were no injuries. According to the North and East Gelderland Security Region, the building was probably struck by a heavy shower that exceeded. Many trees have been blown over in Winterswijk.
According to Weeronline, there may have been a fall wind. It arises because a large amount of cold air deposits down through a sturdy mood. Warm air rises, after which it cools again when it gets higher. The ‘heavy’ air falls down, as it were, and that is accelerated if there is very heavy rainfall.
The temperature is all over its peak all over the Netherlands for today. On the card above you can see which maximum temperatures have been measured. The highest temperature was measured in Maastricht, where it became 39 degrees. On Vlieland they kept their heads the coolest with ‘only’ 22 degrees.
In Hengelo it comes from the sky with bins, as can be seen on this photo of Esther Huijgens.
Large differences in temperatures Now , partly due to the showers, the temperatures now vary widely in the Netherlands. In the west of the country, the temperatures decrease towards 20 degrees, while in the east and south of the country it is still more than 30 degrees.
In this article we explain how those big differences come about.
The western coast and the border areas with Germany are currently taking up considerable showers. Especially in the east that is accompanied by thunder and hail.
Also Code Oranje in Drenthe and Groningen In addition to Limburg, Noord-Brabant, Gelderland and Overijssel, there is now also Code Oranje in Drenthe and Groningen. Sturdy thunderstorms also occur in the northern provinces.
Heavy thunderstorms in the east, a little less intense in the west in Dutch areas that borders to Germany now thunder well. The showers can be very bright, with thunder, hail and heavy gusts of wind from 75 to 100 kilometers per hour.
Showers also pull over the coastal areas in the west. They are large -scale, but less intense.
Thunderstorms are starting to cool down in more and more places. Mabelle van der Feijst sent us this photo of a threatening air above Rhoon (near Rotterdam).
Highest temperatures ever (officially) measured in the Netherlands:
At four highest temperature ever in the Netherlands: 39 degrees in Maastricht in Maastricht, today a temperature of 39 degrees was officially measured, Weerplaza reports. That is the fourth highest temperature ever measured in the Netherlands. The highest temperature ever in our country is in the name of the Gilze-Rijen weather station: 40.7 degrees on July 25, 2019.
Meteorologist Jaco van Wezel says that 39 degrees were measured at the airport near Maastricht. He calls it “very real” that some people measure 40 degrees in their backyard. In the meantime, the temperature is over its peak in Maastricht and it cools down again.
For those who are completely fed up: the cooling is coming. On this card you can see what time the showers pull over your location. Please note that in several places, especially on the coast and in the east, this is accompanied by sturdy thunderstorms.
Heat causes problems on the track throughout the country, there are malfunctions on the track, where the heat influences. There is, among other things, a change of exchange between Amsterdam and Schiphol. There is a signal failure between Breda and Roosendaal and there are defective trains on various routes.
According to a spokesperson for rail manager ProRail, an “increased fault image” can be seen. That was also the case yesterday, when it was also very hot. “But it’s manageable.”
Due to the high temperatures, rails can turn off and electronics can become disrupted, resulting in signal and changing disruptions.
Not yet officially 40 degrees It is important to state that these photos do not yet mean that the temperature has officially reached 40 degrees. There are various causes that the temperature in specific places can be slightly higher. The official temperature is determined and confirmed by weather institutions.
At Henk Kruijer from Eerbeek, the 40 -degree border has also been demolished: he measures 40.5 degrees in his backyard. In the house it is certainly 15 degrees cooler, he writes. Good thing, too…
We get the greetings from Patrice van Trigt from the Snikhete Maarheeze (Noord-Brabant). While driving, the thermometer in her car tapped the 40 degrees.
First thunderstorms, the Netherlands will reach a sturdy mood on Zeeland, reports the KNMI. The yellow color on the card means that hailstones are accompanied by between 0 and 2 centimeters. There are also showers over the Wadden Islands, which occasionally yield some thunderstorms.
The showers that crossed Limburg (the colorful collection of colors at the bottom right) are now driven Germany.
The car of reader Huub Beer measures an outside temperature of 39.5 degrees in Weert (Limburg). “I don’t see that often,” writes Huub, who emphasizes that the photo was “of course taken by my co -driver”.
In Deventer it is currently 35 degrees. The cat of reader Bas Tieltjes has therefore selected a nice place in the shade to take a nap.
Code Oranje went into Limburg, Gelderland and Overijssel In the three southeastern provinces, Code Oranje is now due to thunderstorms with very heavy gusts of wind and large hailstones. Code Oranje also applies because of the heat.
Temperature fell sharply on the coast The temperature on the Dutch west coast has fallen considerably in recent hours. In The Hague the temperature dropped to around 22 degrees and the power of the wind has increased somewhat.
RWS: ‘Take thunderstorms into account during your trip’ Rijkswaterstaat calls on road users to take thunderstorms into account during their journey. “This afternoon the clouds will increase and during the evening rush hour, thunderstorms with gusts of wind and hail can occur locally,” says RWS. “Keep this in mind during your trip. Go well prepared on the road and check the current weather and traffic info.”
Power failure in part of Enschede Hundreds of homes in Enschede are without electricity due to a malfunction, Oost reports. 1,147 households in the east of the city have been hit.
The current went out around 12.45 pm. Enexis expects the malfunction to be resolved at 2.45 pm.
Officially Warmest July 2 ever measured for the second day in a row is a date-warming record, Weeronline reports. In De Bilt, the temperature has risen to 33.7 degrees at 1.30 pm. This makes it officially the hottest July 2 ever since the measurements started in 1901. The previous record was 33.6 degrees and was measured in 2010.
Nationally it is even warmer. Until now it is the warmest in Maastricht with 37.4 degrees.
Code yellow due to thunderstorms in Overijssel, Gelderland and Limburg also applies this afternoon code orange due to thunderstorms. That does not mean that it stays calm in the rest of the country. In the provinces of Noord-Brabant, Utrecht, Flevoland, Drenthe, Friesland and Groningen, code yellow applies this afternoon due to thunderstorms.
Code Geel is in force in Noord-Brabant, Utrecht and Flevoland between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. In the north of the country the weather warning applies from 5 pm to 8 pm.
What do you do if it is too hot inside? Then you just sleep outside! Nu.nl reader Greetje transformed her trampoline into a bed last night.
Earlier today, the European Monitoring Service Estofex had already placed the far east of the Netherlands and parts of Germany already under code 3 because of approaching thunderstorms. Code 3 is the heaviest warning of the storm service. It means that very serious weather conditions are coming.
For the Netherlands, a warning has been issued for parts of Gelderland, Overijssel, Drenthe and Groningen. Estofex is mainly concerned about heavy gusts of wind. According to the KNMI, they can have a force of 75 to 100 kilometers per hour. In Germany there is a chance of tough weather in the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Bremen.
Tomorrow immediately end to heat wave The heat wave will come to an end tomorrow, because then in De Bilt it will be ‘only’ 23 degrees. With a duration of five days we can therefore speak of a narrow heat wave, with an exceptionally hot day on Tuesday 1 July, says Weeronline.
The longest heat wave in De Bilt lasted eighteen days and was measured from July 29 to August 15, 1975.
For a heat wave, a series of at least five summer days (25 degrees or more) is required, with tropical hot at least three of those days (30 degrees or more). For an official heat wave, those temperatures must be measured in De Bilt.
De Bilt is the indicator for the weather in the Netherlands, because the measurements there are seen as representative for the whole of the Netherlands because of its location.
First official heat wave in three years at 11.20 am it became 30.2 degrees in De Bilt: this now officially has a heat wave. The KNMI and WeerOnline report this. It is the first official heat wave since August 2022. Then the heat wave lasted eight days: from August 9 to August 16.
What can you expect and what can you do with heavy thunderstorms? The KNMI lists the most important points for you.
Killing through forest fires in Spain in Spain were killed in a forest fire. This was probably caused by the high temperatures and the drought. In many places in Spain, the temperature has been fluctuating around 40 degrees for days.
The authorities in the Northern Spanish region of Catalonia have instructed around 20,000 people to stay inside by two forest fires that broke out simultaneously. The fire brigade says that the weather conditions played a role in the rapid distribution of the fire.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has expressed his condolences to the relatives of the two people who died in the fires on X.
Code Oranje in Overijssel, Gelderland and Limburg for heavy thunderstorms The KNMI releases Code Oranje for the provinces of Overijssel, Gelderland and Limburg due to heavy thunderstorms. The warning applies from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. for Limburg and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Overijssel and Gelderland. A lot of precipitation can fall in the border regions in particular. Hail stones the size of three centimeters can fall there.
From all over the country, more than fifty reports were received in the Dierenbescherming about young swallows that have been in trouble due to overheating. According to the control room, this has not happened on this scale before.
Animal protection calls on people to be alert to young birds in need during the warm weather and to call for advice. The organization also calls for a weakened swallow not to throw in the air. “Then they fall down just as fast.”
Two heat-related deaths in France in France, the extreme has again demanded two victims. Minister of Climate Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher has just announced this. It is unknown where and how the two died.
Also in Belgium warnings for heat and thunderstorms in Belgium today applies local code orange because of the expected heat. The weather alarm is in force in the provinces of Limburg, Liège and Luxembourg.
In the afternoon, just like in the Netherlands, there is a chance of heavy thunderstorms at the Zuiderburen. A lot of rainfall can fall in a short time, the RMI reports. The warning for thunderstorm is code yellow. It will apply this afternoon in more areas.
Cycle path comes up through the heat: cyclist seriously injured after falling
A cyclist was seriously injured yesterday during a ride through Noord-Brabant. A cycle path had stood up through the heat. He overlooked that, after which he was launched and made an ugly taste. The man was rushed to the hospital.
Turkey receives a grip on forest fires in the Turkish provinces of Izmir and Manisa, the fire brigade is getting more and more grip on the forest fires that have been raging for a few days. That is what Minister of Agriculture and Forest Management Ibrahim Yumakli says. A number of hot spots are now partly under control. The minister reports locally, the minister reports.
A number of forest fires also rage in Hatay. Due to the high temperature and strong wind, the fight against the fire there is less well. According to Yumakli, extinguishing aircraft and twelve helicopters are carried out.
The last night was tropical in the southwest, Weerplaza reports. That means that the temperature did not fall below 20 degrees. Incidentally, it didn’t matter much, because at the weather station of Hoek van Holland a temperature of exactly 20 degrees was measured at the ‘coldest’ moment. The last tropical night was in August last year.
Northwest has to do with showers Currently, there is a local shower in the northwest of our country. At the bottom of the head of Noord-Holland, Texel, Vlieland and the west of Friesland it rains or rained. The showers head towards the northeast, so that Terschelling and Ameland still have to deal with it.
Germany is bracing for hottest day of the year in Germany, the temperature today may rise to local 40 degrees. Especially the States Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia have to deal with it. Our eastern neighbors take into account the hottest day of the year. In the Netherlands, the hottest day of the year so far was yesterday.
High temperature and high humidity expects, it will be tropically warm again today, Weerplaza reports. Locally the temperature can rise to 37 degrees. Especially in the interior it gets very hot. The humidity is high, which means that the damp will feel.
On the coast it is slightly less hot with 25 to 30 degrees. Moreover, during the day a cooling western wind lights up. That also causes a little more clouds.
Thunderstorms can occur during the afternoon. Especially in the east the chance of a blow is present. The thunderstorms will be accompanied by hail and gusts of wind.
More French departments to code orange also in France is holding the heat. Today the temperature can rise to local 39 degrees. The night from Tuesday to Wednesday was very hot. In Paris it was no cooler than 29.5 degrees, reports BFMTV .
Yet in less departments code red applies. In five departments, scaled to code orange, including in Ile-de-France. Only in the Departments Aube, Yonne, Loiret and Cher is code red still in force.
With temperatures above 30 degrees it is tropically warm these days. Readers say in the Nujij reactions that this kind of heat used to occur. That is true in itself, experts say. “But it is often warm than before, and it is also hotter.” Read on here .
