  • Sunday's weather forecast predicts partly cloudy skies with a chance of showers or thunderstorms in the far southeast.
  • Temperatures will range from 22 to 30 degrees Celsius, with cooler conditions expected in some areas compared to Friday.
  • Friday, August 14, was the hottest day of the year so far, with a record temperature recorded in Uccle.

Sunday's weather is expected to bring a return of overcast conditions in some regions during the morning, while other areas will see wide sunny spells. The sky will be partly cloudy throughout the day, with a possibility of a shower or even a thunderstorm in the extreme southeast.

Temperatures will be cooler than the previous day, ranging from 22 degrees Celsius at the coast to 30 degrees in the far south of the country. Central regions will likely experience highs around 26 degrees. The wind will be light initially, then generally moderate from the north to northwest.

This follows Friday, August 14, which was the hottest day of the year, with a record temperature registered in Uccle. As the day progresses, low clouds are expected to dissipate, leading to alternating periods of sunshine and cloud cover. The eastern and southern parts of the country are predicted to have more extensive clear spells.

While the weather is expected to remain dry overall, a shower, possibly with thunderstorms, cannot be ruled out in the Belgian Lorraine region during the afternoon.
