Remnants of Hurricane Humberto
The RMI expects fierce gusts between 70 and 90 kilometers per hour on Saturday and therefore announces Code Geel in all provinces. The severe weather is caused by remnants of Hurricane Humberto, which originated above the Atlantic Ocean last week.
The hurricane has meanwhile weakened, but this weekend ensures a lot of wind with us.
Friday evening and during the night the wind increases in force. In the course of Saturday afternoon and evening, even heavier gusts of wind are possible locally. In the coastal region, the warning can still be scaled up to the Orange. Code Geel applies on Saturday in all provinces from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. On the coast, the warning code runs until Sunday morning 8 hours.
The emergency number 1722 Is activated for those who need fire brigade assistance in the event of storm damage, without the danger of life. 112 remains the right number for urgent and life -threatening situations.
