The KNMI issues code orange for a large part of the Netherlands for storm Eunice, which will pass over the country tomorrow. Code yellow only applies to Limburg. The expectation is that Eunice is accompanied by stronger winds than storm Dudley, which passed over our country last night. Storm Eunice will pass by the Netherlands tomorrow afternoon and evening and this can lead to a (very) heavy storm on the coast, wind force 10 and possibly even wind force 11!
On a large scale it comes to very strong wind gusts of more than 100 km/h. Wind gusts can reach 130 km/h on the coast and 140 km/h on the north coast. Eunice peaks in the west at midday between 13:00 PM and 18:00 PM. In the north, the wind is most extreme between 16:00 PM and 22:00 PM.
