Netherlands issues national heatwave alert due to expected temperatures above seasonal averages. Yellow code warning is declared for all regions except the Wadden Islands.
Temperatures may reach beyond twenty-seven Thursday, possibly surpassing thirty degrees by Friday.
Hot conditions are predicted to persist in the Netherlands for several upcoming days. Authorities warn elderly, chronically ill, socially isolated, homeless, and young children particularly.
Symptoms like fatigue, headache, thirst, or heatstroke are more likely among vulnerable groups. Officials advise staying hydrated, keeping interiors cool, and limiting outside activities during heat.
