Weather Warnings in Belgium

Ouragan Kirk, now considered a depression, will significantly impact Belgium, unleashing heavy rains this Wednesday. The system will move north from the southern province of Luxembourg, with abundant precipitation forecasted in the south of the country. Wind from the south will bring mild temperatures, ranging from 10°C to 15°C towards the late morning. Rain will persist throughout the afternoon across all regions.

  • The Royal Meteorological Institute (IRM) has issued an orange alert in these provinces.
  • Additional yellow alerts apply to Hainaut, the two Brabants, and Limburg.

Due to expected rainfall totals of 60 to 80 liters per m² in specific areas, vigilance is necessary, especially near roads and watercourses.

The night will bring a gradual easing of rains as the depression heads toward Germany, and precipitation will diminish in intensity. Cooler temperatures are anticipated, with maxima dropping to 12°C to 14°C in the heights and 13°C to 17°C in the plains.
