2023-08-24 06:39:50

The IRM issued a yellow thunderstorm alert on Thursday for the whole of Belgium until Friday morning. The cloudiness will then increase over the hours on Thursday from the French border and sometimes intense showers will follow in many places in the afternoon. These may be accompanied by thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and gusts of wind. More locally, hail may be observed.

The 1722 should be used in the event of storm damage or water damage, where the assistance of the fire brigade is necessary. The number 112, on the other hand, should only be used for situations in which a life is in danger.
