Weather: following the snow, yellow alert
It must be said that storm Isha, which blew across the British Isles, was felt right here (while waiting for storm Jocelyne?), with temperatures skyrocketing and some heavy downpours. “We are coming back under the influence of an ocean current which will settle in here,” warns the meteorologist.
On the menu for the week, we will therefore have to count on rain, wind, and very mild temperatures for the season. “This Monday morning, we observed 11.95 degrees in Uccle, which is five to six degrees above seasonal norms. The contrast is impressive compared to recent days. The mercury actually fell to -6.8 degrees in Uccle during this episode. If the cold was not extreme, we had not measured this much snow since March 2013.”

And then ? “For the end of January and the beginning of February, we will still have to count on this mildness and this humid weather. We don’t expect too much precipitation, but you should always have an umbrella with you, he believes. We will experience autumnal conditions rather than wintery ones with temperatures above seasonal norms. It might be a little cooler and drier this weekend, but nothing unusual for the season.”
In terms of seasonal models, we do not see any further cooling between now and the end of meteorological winter on February 29. “The ocean flow is expected to continue, and models predict a positive anomaly around 0.5 degrees and wetter than average weather. I don’t think we will see a new episode of cold or snow, or only on the heights of the country,” concludes Pascal Mormal.
