Thick fog is expected to cause problems during morning rush hour in almost all of the Netherlands on Monday morning. Meteorological institute KNMI issued a code yellow warning. According to Weerplaza, visibility is reduced to 50 meters in some places.

The code yellow warning is in effect for the entire country, except the Wadden islands. "Dangerous driving conditions due to poor visibility. Adjust speed and keep a sufficient following distance", the KNMI warns. "Fog can be treacherous through sudden appearance. Follow weather reports and warnings." The fog should dissipate by mid morning.
