Dense fog warning issued for parts of the Netherlands
The KNMI has issued a yellow warning for dense fog in parts of Drenthe, Groningen and Overijssel in the northeast of the Netherlands.
It runs from 02:00 until 10:00 on Monday, November 9.
Visibility may drop below 200 metres in some areas, and the fog could form suddenly overnight or in the morning.
The KNMI says the fog should gradually clear during the second half of the morning.
Drivers are advised to slow down, leave more space between vehicles and use fog lights when visibility is very poor.
The warning reflects a change introduced this month: weather alerts are now issued for affected local areas rather than entire provinces.
Drivers should expect delays and hazardous road conditions while the fog persists.
