DE BILT (ANP) - Het KNMI heeft code oranje iets na 02.00 uur in de nacht van zaterdag op zondag beëindigd. De weerswaarschuwing was afgegeven voor de provincie Limburg vanwege de mogelijkheid op zware onweersbuien, hagel, regen en windstoten.
Voor veel provincies geldt nog wel code geel voor onweersbuien. Het KNMI waarschuwt in Zeeland, Zuid-Holland, Limburg, Noord-Brabant, Gelderland en Overijssel voor zware buien. "Hagel, veel regen in korte tijd en (zware) windstoten kunnen plaatselijk overlast/schade geven", aldus het weerinstituut.
In vrijwel het hele land, behalve in de noordoostelijke provincies Friesland en Groningen en op de Waddeneilanden, geldt wel nog code geel vanwege de hoge temperaturen.

Yet, during the Guardian’s visit to the Welsh valleys town last week, the area was quiet. Nearly as many sheep as people appeared to be using the new facilities: a ewe and three lambs, escaped from somewhere, busied themselves in a strip of rewilded land next to the tech buildings.
