The end of the winter holidays means polar cold this year. Beyond very low temperatures, the wind reinforces the feeling of cold. The Royal Meteorological Institute has issued a yellow cold alert for all of Wallonia, except Walloon Brabant, from midnight this Sunday evening. Separately, the IRM has issued a yellow warning for slippery conditions across the country.
The sky will still be overcast with a possibility of some snowfall on Monday followingnoon, according to forecasts from the Royal Belgian Meteorological Institute (IRM) at midday. During the followingnoon, more clearing might appear in the east and northeast of the country. The maxima will be between 0 degrees at sea and -5 degrees in the eastern cantons. A moderate wind, or even quite strong on the coast, will reinforce the feeling of cold.
Monday evening, clearings will widen from the northeast. However, regions close to France will still have to deal with more cloudy fields. During the night from Monday to Tuesday, the sky will be clear throughout the territory. The minimums will vary from -4 degrees at the sea, -6 degrees in the center, and up to values close to -9 degrees in the Hautes Fagnes.
Weather forecast
The day of mardi will be sunny but cold (“winter day”) with maxima around -4 or -5 degrees in Hautes-Fagnes, -1 or -2 degrees in the center and -1 or 0 degrees on the coast. The northeast to east-northeast wind will be moderate (and moderate to fairly strong on the coast); which will further reduce the temperature felt by a few degrees. Clear skies will lead to a drop in nighttime temperatures to values of around -5 or -6 degrees in many places.
Wednesday, the weather will be sunny once more but still cold with maximums of -1 to +2 degrees. The wind will be weak to moderate from the northeast.
THURSDAY, the weather will still be sunny for a large part of the day but, during the day, low clouds should reach the coast and the north of the territory. The maxima will be between 0 degrees in the central regions and +4 degrees on the coast as well as in the Ardennes, under a weak to moderate northeast wind.
The day of Friday will start under gray skies in many places, with low clouds and/or freezing fog. During the day, clearings will develop and will be more likely south of the Sambre et Meuse furrow. The maxima will be around 0 or 1 degree in the central part of the country, and around +4 degrees on the coast and in the Ardennes. The wind will be weak to sometimes moderate from the northeast.
SATURDAY, the weather should remain gray with low clouds and (freezing) fog, probably persistent in many places. The maxima will be between 0 and 3 degrees, but might be very variable depending on fog conditions. The wind will become moderate from the west.
Sunday, cloud cover will be variable with an increasing risk of (winter) showers. The maxima will oscillate around around 2 degrees in the center of the country. The wind will generally be moderate and orientate to the northwest.
