Weather forecast
Today there are sometimes broad clear skies over Flanders and it is mainly dry, but rain soon moves into our country from France. After noon, code yellow will be in force for thunderstorms in the provinces of Antwerp and Limburg.
Around noon, a rain and shower zone will enter our country from France and then slowly move northwards. It then often becomes heavily cloudy with periods of rain and showers that are locally accompanied by thunder, the RMI reports.
When the precipitation zone reaches the north of the country, it largely comes to a standstill, allowing a lot of rain to fall in the areas near the Dutch border. At the same time, it will become largely dry again at the rear of the precipitation zone, with sometimes broad clear spells, especially in the regions near the French border. The maximum temperatures are between 12 and 15 degrees in the Ardennes, around 17 or 18 degrees in the north of Flanders and between 15 and 17 degrees elsewhere.
In the provinces of Antwerp and Limburg, code yellow applies for thunderstorms from 2 p.m. The warning applies until 9 am on Tuesday morning.
This evening and tonight there will sometimes be intense precipitation in the north of Flanders. Locally, more than 25 mm of precipitation can be recorded there (together with the precipitation on Monday afternoon) over 24 hours. Elsewhere it is or will be mostly dry with local formation of low clouds or fog. The minimum temperatures fluctuate between 5 and 10 degrees in the southern half of the country and between 10 and 12 degrees in the northern part. The usually weak westerly wind gradually becomes moderate northerly, near the sea.
