Thick fog causes a yellow warning to be issued in central and western Netherlands
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) has issued a yellow warning for central and western Netherlands due to dense fog, and the warning will remain in effect until at least 7:00 AM on Sunday.
The warning includes the provinces of North Holland, South Holland, Flevoland, Utrecht, Gelderland, and Zeeland, where visibility is recorded to be very low in some areas.
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute advises drivers that visibility may drop to less than 200 meters in some locations, increasing the risk of accidents. Drivers are urged to use fog lights and maintain safe distances while driving.
Dense fog may disrupt traffic and public transport, and authorities recommend increasing travel time and avoiding unnecessary trips during periods of dense fog.
To safely navigate these conditions, drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant, reduce speed, and strictly follow traffic laws. Public announcements and updates from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) will continue to provide guidance as the weather situation evolves.
