The KNMI warns of strong thunderstorms that are approaching. Code yellow applies to Brabant from eight o’clock on Sunday evening. There is a risk of hail and wind gusts during the thunderstorms. According to the KNMI, a lot of rain can fall in a short time, resulting in local flooding.
Roosmarijn Knol van Weerplaza expects those thunderstorms mainly in the east of the province. “But I think we can get away with it reasonably well in Brabant.”
“There’s a lot of rainwater in those showers.”
On Saturday Roos told the radio program ‘Weekend’ on Omroep Brabant that the showers were expected around six o’clock in the evening. She now expects the showers later in the evening and Sunday night. “I now see them appearing in the weather maps around eight or nine o’clock in the evening, in the east of the country. Those strong thunderstorms are coming our way from Germany. The center of gravity will mainly be above the center and north-east of the Netherlands. But I does not rule out that the east of Brabant will also have to deal with such a heavy shower.”
There is a lot of rainwater in those showers, according to Roos. “They also don’t migrate very quickly, so they can cause local flooding.”
“This could be the first summer day of the year.”
Until the showers arrive, this Sunday will be the hottest day of this year so far. “We are heading towards 25 degrees. This can make this the first summer day of the year. We are in a very warm, but also humid type of air. The temperature can rise a lot higher than in recent times. As soon as the sun comes up , the temperature shoots up like a rocket.”
