Today is the warmest December 31 since measurements began. In Uccle, 15.8 degrees was already recorded this morning and that is a new daily record. “The old record from 2021 (14.0 degrees) has been pulverized,” reports our weatherman David Dehenauw. “The final result will be known later today.” For those who want to celebrate outside tonight: it will remain dry in most places, but it can blow hard.
This one morning there is still rain, according to the RMI, especially in the center and the north of the country. In the southeast it will soon become dry. After that, the zone with dry weather gradually moves up from the south. Clear spells are possible in the afternoon, especially in the southeast of the country. Elsewhere it often remains heavily clouded. It will be particularly soft with maxima between 13 and 17 degrees. There is a fairly strong to sometimes powerful southwest wind, with gusts around 70 kilometers per hour and locally a little more.
on New Year’s Eve it is dry in most places with clear spells, especially south of Sambre and Maas. At night it will become overcast and during the second part of the night it will rain over the west. Sunday morning temperatures will be between 9 and 14 degrees. The southwest wind is still blowing quite strongly at first, powerful at sea, but decreases to moderate to sometimes quite powerful. Wind gusts of up to 60 kilometers per hour or temporarily more are possible before midnight.
“We may be experiencing the warmest new year ever in Uccle, with expected night minimums (between 7 pm and 7 am) of 11-12 degrees. The record to beat is 10.4 from 2012,” said Dehenauw.
on new year’s day it is usually gray and soft. In the morning it often seems to be dry, but in the course of the afternoon it may rain again from France. This is a swaying front, which means that the precipitation amounts can vary greatly. It currently seems that most precipitation will fall south of Sambre en Maas. The maxima are reached in the morning and fluctuate between 10 degrees in the High Fens and 13 or 14 degrees in the north of the country. Moderate southwest wind.
Monday we still have to deal with the front that has been in our area for several days. Precipitation forecasts are still uncertain. There may still be rain for a large part of the day, although it will become drier in the course of the afternoon. The maxima are between 8 and 10 degrees and will be reached in the morning. After noon it cools down. The wind blows moderately from the southwest to west.
Tuesday we are between two rain zones and it is temporarily dry with occasional sunny periods. It may rain again in the late afternoon or evening. With maxima between 5 and 8 degrees, it is a few degrees colder.
Wednesday another rain zone enters the country. Most precipitation appears for the north of the country. In the south there may be less rain and it is often dry, but mostly gray. The wind is also picking up again. The supplied air becomes softer again, allowing the mercury in the center to climb again to 8 to 11 degrees.
Thursday it is mostly cloudy with a few light showers, but it is often dry with sparse clearance. The maxima are around 12 degrees in the center.
Friday the chances of precipitation are again high due to the proximity of a cold front that moves south from the Netherlands. The maxima are then around 10 degrees in the center.
