Thunderstorms and hail are forecast on Tuesday afternoon in all provinces apart from Noord-Holland, Flevoland, Friesland and Groningen, while temperatures could climb to a sultry 27 degrees.
The KNMI said strong gusts could also be experienced in the affected areas. The weather system will move from west to east before crossing over into Germany at around 5pm.
