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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
