this is where it starts tomorrow

Hold onto your hats and your wheelie bins, folks! Storm Conall is hitting the Netherlands like a bad sneeze!

Yes, that’s right! Tomorrow’s forecast is apparently sponsored by wind, and it looks like Mother Nature is pulling out all the stops! We have Storm Conall stomping in, likely making the weather outside less of a lovely stroll and more like an audition for a reality show called ‘Survivor: Dutch Edition’. The brave souls on the coast might experience wind speeds that can only be described as ‘whoa!’—with gusts potentially reaching 110 kilometers per hour! That’s faster than my last relationship ended! (And trust me, that was a windstorm of emotions!)

When will we know if we’re getting blown away?

Now, I know we all love a good mystery, but the most alarming part is the uncertainty of it all! It’s like trying to find out if the person you fancied at the bar actually likes you back—all the suspense but with a lot more wind and, let’s face it, way less fun! Weather boffins say the peak chaos will hit between 6 PM and 9 PM, which, for those keeping track, is also about the time you’re starting to regret what you had for dinner. You know what they say, “A storm in the belly brings a storm in the sky!”

What to do in a wind-wonderland

So, what’s the best way to prepare for this impending tempest, you ask? Well, for starters, knick-knacks in your garden are at risk of being whisked away! You might want to start implementing a no-fly zone for your lawn decorations. And if you’ve got an empty wheelie bin rolling around, it’s time to put the poor thing in its place. I mean, would you want your bin out there risk-taking for a storm? It’s not a brave little toaster; it’s a rubbish bin.

Here’s the kicker!

It sounds like South Holland and North Holland will be playing a game of catch-up with the wind first, like two kids arguing over who gets to jump into a puddle! By the time the storm flares up over the IJsselmeer, it’s sure to challenge every umbrella in the region to a duel. Watch out for traffic jams – beyond the typical “that guy forgot how to merge” type! Expect real chaos with strong gusts of wind. Oh, and can we talk about the little extra that just rolled in? It’s officially yellow weather warning time, thanks to our friends at the KNMI. So around 3 PM tomorrow, those provinces better fasten their metaphorical seatbelts and grab their sturdy hats!

In short, with Conall making his grand entrance, we’ve got ourselves a bonafide Dutch storm soirée. So, grab some snacks, stay indoors, and for heaven’s sake, don’t go chasing after your errant wheelie bin! It’s not worth it—it’ll just blow away, and you’ll end up looking like one of those poor souls in a wind tunnel commercial. Remember, when life gives you storms, make sure you’ve stored away your yard decorations and prepare to hunker down with a cuppa!

And for those planning to venture out—good luck! If you see a flying bin, just step aside and let it happen. It’s no use fighting against nature! Really, who knew being a weather enthusiast would have so much drama?

Stay safe, stay cheeky, and don’t forget to check the weather before you step outside tomorrow—unless you’re completely okay with a surprise windblown hairstyle!
