It seems calm spring weather, a degree or 18 to 19 and a nice sun. But that is insidious, says Vermeulen. “The sun power becomes a maximum of 4, which means that you can burn within half an hour. With these temperatures, people may not realize that.” If you are going to enjoy the sun, apply yourself, is the advice.
Lid on atmosphere
For people with respiratory problems, there is another disadvantage due to the weather in combination with the traditional Easter fires in Germany and the east of the country: smog. “Due to the high pressure area that is now affecting our weather, the smoke can’t really go away, there is a kind of lid on the atmosphere“, explains Vermeulen. The air quality is therefore expected to be insufficient to poor.

“The wind comes from the east and is weak, but strong enough to blow the smoke over the land.” The RIVM advises lung patients and elderly people with cardiovascular diseases throughout the country not to perform strenuous exercise this weekend. Easter fires are lit on Sundays and Mondays. Air quality will improve again from Tuesday.
After the Easter weekend there will be slightly more clouds and a chance of light showers. The temperatures are therefore slightly lower, about 16 degrees.
