Never before has it been so hot on September 10 in our country. The previous record was more than 125 years old and dated from September 10, 1895, when it was 28.5 degrees.
“It was also the warmest first decade (10 days, ed.) of September,” says Dehenauw. “The average temperature was about 21.8 degrees. The previous record dated from 2005, when we reached 20.5 degrees.”
Last week we experienced the first ever heat wave in September in our country. Today was the sixth tropical day in a row in Uccle. That was back in August 2020. Then there were eight.
