New Year's Dive in Scheveningen cancelled due to strong wind

The traditional New Year's dive into the North Sea at Scheveningen Beach has been cancelled, organizers announced on Monday afternoon. The decision was made due to the predicted powerful winds "in combination with a strong current and high waves." Every year, about 10,000 people participate in the dive in the sea to ring in the New Year.

Summer, North Sea ๐ŸŒŠ

2009 vs 2022 (spot the differences), same place at Scheveningen beach, The Hague, NL.

Main difference: in 2022 I bit the bullet and actually went for a swim (= squirm convulsively in the freezing water and get out in 3 minutes looking like an ice pop with feet) - moment not pictured ๐Ÿฅถ
