Heat, delivery, alcohol, Venezuela and Oranje (Dutch national football team) (Friday, June 26)

On Friday, a red alert due to extreme heat applies in eight provinces. Inland, it can reach 40 degrees Celsius, and the night also remained warm. RDW stations (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) will close, exams and court hearings will not take place, and schools and amusement parks will remain closed.

Supermarkets are adjusting their delivery schedules on Friday due to the heat. Picnic delivers only in the morning and evening, not between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Albert Heijn stops deliveries from 3:00 PM onwards because delivering at that time is not responsible.

The Health Council wants alcohol to become less normalized in the Netherlands. According to the council, every glass is harmful, and there is no safe limit. The council wants higher excise duties, fewer points of sale, and less advertising, and Minister Hermans will respond later.

In Venezuela, many people are searching for relatives after two severe earthquakes. According to reports, 188 people have died, and more than 1,500 people were injured. Buildings collapsed in La Guaira, and USAR.NL (Urban Search and Rescue Netherlands) is departing with 65 aid workers and 8 search dogs.

The World Cup match Netherlands-Tunisia begins in the night from Thursday to Friday at 1:00 AM. Not every municipality allows cafés to stay open longer, and some schools are adjusting their schedules on Friday. In Kansas City, there was a chance of severe weather, and delays were possible.
