Belgium (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – The Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium predicts sunny skies for Sunday, while the weather turns colder as temperatures will drop between 7°C and 14°C and an unpleasant easterly wind is expected.
The Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium predicted that Sunday would have sunny skies but with temperatures falling between 7 °C and 14 °C. The High Ardennes region will encounter the lowest temperature range at 7°C, yet Brussels and Flanders will have a temperature span between 12°C and 14°C. Weather conditions will feel colder because the predicted easterly wind will reach speeds of up to 50 km/h in specific areas.
What are the key factors influencing Belgium’s upcoming cool and windy weather?
Belgium experiences maritime weather conditions that are frequently impacted by Atlantic storm patterns. The upcoming Sunday will present cooler and windier conditions due to an easterly continental European airflow that introduces dry but cool air masses. Statistics from the Royal Meteorological Institute show early spring temperature ranges between 8°C to 15°C in Belgium over the years, which aligns with the below-average outlook for Sunday.
Wind speeds throughout inland Belgium typically hover in the range of 15–30 km/h, but the southern areas face predicted wind gusts exceeding 50 km/h that occur approximately 10–15 times annually during high-pressure Scandinavian conditions or low-pressure situations near British territory. The elevated location of the Ardennes produces temperatures that are consistently lower than the rest of Belgium during the spring season.
Spring temperatures in the RMI have displayed a sustained temperature increase of 1.5°C during the previous hundred years based on their extensive climate records.
Small cold waves often occur between March and early April, yet temperature increases have been observed throughout the last 100 years. Recent weather predictions match the normal conditions in Belgium, where March typically experiences 14 dry days without registering rainfall, and when eastern wind currents persist, they extend dry conditions. The low-speed winds beneath 70 km/h fail to trigger any severe weather warnings because they do not disrupt the local area.
