The first real spring day will even become a summer day, but that was it? No more nice weather expected in the coming days | Weather news

In Uccle today was officially the first spring day of the year, weatherman David Dehenauw already confirmed this afternoon. The cape of 20 degrees (spring day), even that of 25 degrees (summer day) was exceeded in Uccle. On May 4, the first real spring day is late. Last year, for example, it was already there on April 12. The last time the 20-degree mark was only crossed in May was in 2016 (on May 6).

A first summer day at the beginning of May is not really exceptional. “On average, it falls more or less at the end of May, last year it was on May 15 and in 2021 on May 9,” says Dehenauw. But, for example, in 2018 and 2019, the first summer day of the year was already recorded on April 18 and April 22, respectively. And the earliest first summer day since measurements began was in 1939, when it fell on April 11, the weatherman said.
