With winds up to wind force 6 and wind gusts up to 60 km/h, a lot of sand can blow up today on drift-prone soils. In addition, the very sunny weather and the exceptionally dry air increase the sensitivity to dust. It also becomes difficult to irrigate effectively, with wind force 5-6.
The weather conditions lead to extraordinary vistas of 50 kilometers and more in large parts of Europe. A distance of 75 kilometers has even been measured in the Veenkoloniën. In the Veenkoloniën people are prepared for dust storms and manure can be spread above ground to prevent dusting, which certainly happens.
Wind chill
The wind will gradually weaken over the next few days, day after day. But tomorrow will certainly still be a day when the fields will be dusty, especially when the land is being worked. This afternoon the wind is expected to reach wind force 6, tomorrow the wind force will be maximum force 5 according to the calculations. If the wind dies down during the week, it will also become slightly warmer. Certainly for the feeling.
Transition to changeable weather?
From next weekend, weather maps will appear on the screen that indicate a transition to more changeable weather. KNMI writes: "From April 27 to Monday May 4, there is first a high chance of fairly cool weather with about a 50% chance of rain, followed by increasing uncertainty in the temperature forecast and a 30-40% chance of precipitation every day."
