The RMI expects storm (9 Beaufort) to severe storm (10 Beaufort) in the Belgian North Sea between Friday afternoon and Saturday midnight, with wind gusts that can rise over the northwestern half of the country from 100 kilometers per hour (most optimistic scenario) to 130 kilometers per hour ( most pessimistic scenario) with a risk of wind damage. “We will have to deal with two storms”, weatherman Frank Duboccage tells VTM Nieuws. Storm Dudley, which already made landfall last night, is bringing wind gusts of up to 90 kilometers per hour. Storm Eunice, Dudley’s ‘big sister’, is also expected from tomorrow.

The weatherman expected the peak of storm Dudley during the evening yesterday. “It is already blowing quite a bit, but it will blow even more strongly,” it sounded yesterday. Tonight it will also rain temporarily, but tonight it will be dry again. Tomorrow (today, ed.) it will even remain a long one. dry day, although the wind will still be strong.
From tomorrow in the late afternoon we will have to deal with storm Eunice. “That is the big sister, then there will really be more wind”, warns Duboccage. It will be very windy, especially Friday evening until midnight. “We then get a strong to stormy wind, at sea in any case 9 Beaufort, maybe even 10 Beaufort. As far as wind speeds themselves are concerned, 100 to 110 kilometers per hour of wind is quite possible, both at sea and inland,” it sounds.
Both Dudley and Eunice come from England, where wind gusts of up to 130 kilometers per hour are possible. England and the north of the Netherlands in particular will have a hard time.
If this expectation is confirmed today, the RMI will issue an orange warning for some provinces.
