Storm Boelo brought strong winds, fallen trees and disruption across the Netherlands after Storm Austen had caused damage the previous day. A cyclist was killed in Amsterdam when a tree fell, while a motorist was injured after a tree hit a moving car in Amsterdam-Noord. Fallen trees damaged homes and vehicles and blocked roads, including the N207 near Alphen aan den Rijn. A bus in Friesland ended up in the water after colliding with a tree. Schiphol cancelled dozens of flights, and an event at Amsterdam’s NDSM wharf ended early as a precaution. Boelo became the Netherlands’ first official storm of 2026 after force 9 average winds were recorded on Vlieland. Reports put peak gusts at up to 115 kilometres per hour in IJmuiden. The KNMI’s code yellow warning for strong gusts in coastal areas remained in force until the night from Sunday to Monday. A kite surfer is missing off Scheveningen, according to reports.
