It’s getting long, don’t you think? For more than a month, spring has officially begun. At least theoretically because in reality, we are still waiting for a series of sunny days. Let’s even be less demanding: the sequence of a few days without rain.

Even though we had a good weekend in April (Saturday 13 and Sunday 14) and a few warm sunny days, the weather has been quite gloomy since March 20, a spring day. With conditions, dare we say the terms, frankly disgusting (rain, sleet, storms, etc.). If Luc Trullemans sees a small improvement, it will not happen yet.
Moreover, we notice it when analyzing the weather for the coming weekend. It’s quite simple, the country will (again) be abundantly watered. The fault of an altitude depression coming from France will reach our territory and will be the cause of rain or showers, notes the IRM. If we will experience a lull on Sunday, it will pick up again on Monday and Tuesday with a new depression this time coming from the Near Atlantic.
The full forecast
Saturday morning, the weather will be dry with large clearings but, during the day, the sky will become very cloudy with periods of rain or showers, and risk of a localized thunderstorm. The maximum temperatures will be between 12 and 16 degrees, under a weak to moderate south to southeast wind. Saturday night, the weather will initially still be variable with rain, showers and locally risk of thunderstorms. During the night, the weather will become dry with occasional clear spells. However, the sky will generally remain cloudy south of the Sambre et Meuse furrow and visibility will sometimes be limited there. It will be cool with minimums of 3 to 8 degrees, with an often moderate southwesterly wind and, in the west of the country, initially still weak with variable direction.
The day of Sunday will sometimes start in gray weather, particularly south of the Sambre et Meuse furrow where the atmosphere will also often be foggy. Then, the sky will be very changeable to sometimes very cloudy with risk of some local showers, mainly in the north of Flanders and the southern flank of the Ardennes. The maxima will be between 13 and 15 degrees in the Ardennes as well as in the coastal region, and around 16 or 17 degrees elsewhere, under a weak to moderate wind generally from the west to the southwest. Further deterioration will occur in the evening or at night.
The day of Monday should be largely marked by periods of rain or showers which can locally be stormy. The maxima will be between 14 and 18 degrees, under a weak to moderate wind, initially from the east to the southeast, then from variable directions.
Tuesday, showers will initially still be possible but the weather will then become generally dry with clearings from the north. The maxima will be between 13 and 15 degrees in the Ardennes as well as on the coast, and between 15 and 18 degrees elsewhere, under a weak to moderate wind from north-northeast to north-northwest.
Wednesday, the sky will be divided between clearings and cloudy fields which could give rise to some local showers, particularly in the east of the country. Temperatures will change little with maximums of 13 degrees at the seaside to 19 degrees in the center.
Thursday and Friday, the weather should remain dry and often sunny. It will be milder with maximums of 17 to 19 degrees in the Ardennes, and 19 to 22 degrees elsewhere. The influx of fresh air from the sea should, however, keep temperatures below 16 degrees at the coast.
