In the aisles of the Namur market this Saturday morning, we come across unconventional looks for May 4th. Protection on the ears for the gentleman, a hat on the head for the lady… “It’s cool”underlines a passerby. “We’re waiting for the sun there”, laments another. “Oh, it’s sad. It’s too much… It’s not normal, by the way.”
But is this weather really abnormal?
According to the Royal Meteorological Institute, the current temperatures are nothing exceptional. Thirteen degrees this morning in Namur, up to 14 degrees in Uccle today: it’s only 2 degrees less than the seasonal normal.
Who about the precipitation?
Here too, the Royal Meteorological Institute speaks of a classic situation, and recalls that last year, the spring was rainy until the middle of May. “We no longer know how to dress in the morning between the good weather in the afternoon and the rain in the morning, it’s complicated,” breathes this Namur resident
Fortunately, this morning, a ray of sunshine still came to warm our faces for a few moments… before the rain arrived in the afternoon.
