arty: Autumn has arrived in Holland, everyone!!
"The weather forecast for this weekend:
Autumn has begun in our climate and as every year it announces itself through a powerful storm surge. Expect rain and winds up to 100km/h in the coastal regions and on the islands and heavy thunderstorms on the Eastern Plains, possibly accompanied by hail, thunder and the first signs of snow."
"Temperatures have fallen sharply over the past night, from 26 yesterday afternoon to a mere 17 same time today. We will continue to see a decline with minimum temperatures of 5 degrees at night and 15 during the day."
