From Tuesday, it will be the return of seasonal temperatures, with calmer weather, and perhaps a few snowflakes in the Ardennes. Similar weather is expected for Wednesday, before the return of potentially wintry precipitation on Thursday. “Thursday morning, there will be very heavy cloudiness with (melting) snowfall. In the south-east of the country, there may be temporary rain. In the afternoon, the cloudiness will become more variable with sunny spells and wintry showers. The maxima will oscillate around 2 degrees in the center. Light to moderate northwest wind, turning west to southwest“, announces the MRI.
For the future, several scenarios exist. But the return of lastingly drier and sunny weather is expected by the IRM. “The weather should become a little less cold and often dry with sunny periods at times. The weather would indeed remain dominated by an area of high pressure.“
Enough to put an end to this long, very humid period, which will have marked the year 2024? As a reminder, 2024 was the wettest year recorded by the IRM since records began in 1833. “It is interesting to note that the precipitation record in Uccle is not accompanied by a record number of days of precipitation On the contrary, with 203 days of precipitation, 2024 ends far from the record of the year 1974 (where it rained 266 days). normal number of days of annual precipitation (190) The record amount of precipitation in Uccle is mainly explained by the large number of days (11 in 2024) with heavy precipitation (equal to or greater than 20 mm)”, specifies the annual report. of MRI.

It is also interesting to point out that in 2024, we have not broken any heat records, nor recorded an official heat wave. The mildness was therefore lasting, throughout the year, despite the lack of sun. Also in December, it only shone for 17 hours in Uccle, the seventh darkest December since records began. Conversely, we were treated to a month that was a little drier than normal. As for temperatures, our feelings might suggest that it was cold this month, but the average reached 5.4 degrees, compared to an average of 4.3 degrees.
