To be honest, we’re already quite sick of cycling in headwind all the time, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better anytime soon – especially with storm Ellen on the way to ruin yet another weekend. It’s like these storms have a vendetta against us enjoying a nice weekend or something – why not arrive mid-week, so we don’t have to come into work? ;)

Storm Ellen to ruin your weekend

After Storm Ciara and Dennis, you’d think we’d get a break from strong winds and buckets of rain at the weekend, but no. It looks like Storm Ellen is coming for a visit this weekend, but that is not certain yet- so here’s hoping it doesn’t make landfall. If Ellen does reach the Netherlands, it will bring with it fickle weather with rain, heavy gusts of wind but also the possibility of a little sunshine.

If Ellen indeed hits the Netherlands, it will do so on Sunday – which will make for three Sunday storms in a row, which is pretty special, if not extremely annoying. Gusts of wind are expected to cause trouble at 75 to 100 km/h. We’ll have to wait and see if the storm actually makes it to the Netherlands.
