The previous record was from 2021 with 14.0 degrees. “So it has already been sprayed,” explains David Dehenauw. The December temperature record might also be beaten: 16.7 degrees recorded on December 16, 1989.
Already 16.2 degrees in Uccle. The hottest temperature ever recorded there in December: 16.7 degrees on 16/12/1989. Interesting !

The high temperatures are explained by the currents from the south of the subtropical part of the Atlantic Ocean, details the meteorologist. The wind also keeps temperatures from cooling down. David Dehenauw expects a gradual cooling in the coming days, with 14 degrees on Sunday.
