Tonight and tonight it will rain heavily again in many places in our country, the RMI warns. The Federal Public Service Home Affairs temporarily activates the number 1722 due to the weather forecasts and to avoid inconvenience to the emergency services.
An active rain zone will move across our country from the west this evening and tonight. The minimums are recorded tonight and are between 2 degrees in the Ardennes and 6 or 7 degrees in most other regions. The wind is weak and variable at first and gradually increases to moderate or fairly strong from the southwest with gusts of up to 60 km/h inland and up to 70 km/h at sea towards the end of the night.
The emergency number 1722 was activated, FPS Home Affairs reports. “For storm and water damage for which you need assistance from the fire brigade, you can submit a request via the e-desk www.1722.be or call 1722. Only call 112 for situations that may be life-threatening,” it said.

Tomorrow it will remain heavily cloudy to overcast with rain. During the afternoon the rain will turn into showers and there will be some clear spells. It is in the provinces south of Sambre and Meuse where the most precipitation will fall in 24 hours with precipitation amounts often between 20 and 30 mm. In the province of Luxembourg and the Liège part of the Ardennes we expect values between 30 and 40 mm, and locally up to 50 mm.
On Tuesday evening the rain will gradually change to some snow on the Ardennes heights. The maximum temperatures fluctuate between 7 and 11 degrees. The wind blows moderate to fairly strong from the southwest and changes to the west to northwest during the day and becomes moderate.
