Good morning! Crowds are expected on the roads to the holiday destinations. There are likely to be traffic jams, especially in the southern direction, just like around the Swiss and Austrian tunnels. And in Nijmegen the Four Days Marches celebrations will start. The annual walking tour starts Tuesday.
First the weather: at first the sun shines regularly, but from the southwest the clouds quickly thicken. A few showers will eventually follow, possibly with thunder in the east. It will be a maximum of 24 to 28 degrees.

What can you expect today?
It is expected to be very busy on the roads in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe, because many people are going on holiday. There will be traffic jams, especially in the southern direction, as well as around Hamburg and Munich and for the Swiss and Austrian tunnels. The Four Days Marches will start in Nijmegen. The parties frame the Four Days Marches, which start on Tuesday. During the festival, Nijmegen’s city center will turn into a festival site with dozens of stages. The Kwaku Summer Festival in Amsterdam will also start again. For the next four weekends, the Nelson Mandelapark in Amsterdam-Zuidoost will be dominated by music, food and drink and the traditional football tournament. The peloton awaits another tough mountain stage in the fourteenth stage of the Tour de France. The 152 kilometer ride from Annemasse to Morzine Les Portes du Soleil has five climbs, three of which are first category and the last, the Col de Joux Plane, hors category. Wimbledon men’s doubles final. Koolhof has never reached the final there before. He did lose the final battle of the US Open twice. Koolhof and Skupski play in London against the Argentinian Horacio Zeballos and the Spaniard Marcel Granollers.
What did you miss?
Writer Marga Minco (103) died on Monday. She is forever linked to her debut The bitter herb which appeared in 1957. In it she describes how she was the only one of her Jewish family to survive the war. The book was on the reading list of generations of Dutch students.
Minco received the PC Hooft Prize in 2019 for her entire oeuvre. According to the jury, this austere, only 90 pages long, but precisely because of this penetrating narrative, made her the Dutch voice in European war literature.
