Belgium is set to experience a mix of dry conditions and intermittent rain in the coming days, according to forecasts from the Royal Meteorological Institute (IRM).
The country will see a brief respite from wet conditions on Sunday afternoon before rainfall returns overnight and persists into the week.
Sunday Afternoon: A Temporary Reprieve
The weather on Sunday afternoon is expected to remain dry, with a combination of sunny spells and cloudy areas.
While much of the country will enjoy relatively pleasant conditions, the IRM warns that rain will move in from the west during the night. However, higher regions such as the Hautes Fagnes are likely to remain dry overnight.
Monday: A Cloudy and Wet Start to the Week
Belgium will wake up to an overcast sky on Monday, with rainfall quickly spreading across all regions. While the morning will be damp, the afternoon will bring some relief, particularly in the west and northwest, where drier conditions are expected to take hold.
Temperatures will vary from a chilly 8°C in the Hautes Fagnes to a milder 13°C in Campine. Winds will be moderate inland but could become quite strong along the coast, with gusts reaching up to 50 km/h.
Tuesday: Persistent Grey Skies with Possible Heavy Rain
The unsettled weather will continue on Tuesday, with a persistently grey sky dominating the country.
Although the morning may remain dry, the IRM warns that a new weather disturbance could bring heavy rain to certain areas later in the day. Temperatures will be slightly lower, ranging from 6°C in the higher altitudes to 10°C in the lower-lying regions.
Wednesday: A Dry Start Before More Rain Moves In
Wednesday is expected to begin on a dry note, offering a brief break from the rain. However, the respite will be short-lived as weather conditions are set to deteriorate by the afternoon. Rainfall will return, initially affecting western Belgium before spreading further inland.
Looking Ahead: No Immediate Relief from Unstable Conditions
With a series of rain-bearing weather systems passing through the region, Belgium’s residents should be prepared for fluctuating conditions. The IRM advises the public to remain alert, particularly for strong coastal winds and potential heavy rainfall in some areas.
As the country transitions into the autumn months, meteorologists warn that such unstable weather patterns may persist in the coming weeks. Travelers and commuters are advised to check weather updates regularly and take necessary precautions against wet and windy conditions.
