Orange weather alert in Belgium: Where are thunderstorms to be the most violent? Here are the most threatened areas

What areas precisely?

Obviously, it is not easy to predict exactly in which municipalities the thunderstorms will be the most intense, just like the rain. But Farid El Mokaddem, founder of the Météo-Mons Facebook page, still gives some details. “”It will be necessary to monitor the hatching of local thunderstorms but potentially strong on the between Sambre and Meuse but especially Condroz Namurois, central Ardennes and perhaps Liège later on the trajectory of the latter. They will be able to give large accumulations but especially boys possibly strong> 80-90 km/h. Risk of lower hail (2-3 cm max) but potentially marked electrical activity!“. We could see the quantities of precipitation arriving exceeding 30 or 40 l/m², but that is not all: winding exceeding 100 km/h are not excluded, not to mention the hail which will be possible. In short, be careful if this happens.

The weather analysis expert separated Belgium into three areas. And the more we go to the coast, the lower the risk of thunderstorms and rain, see nonexistent. However, this is not the case of the second area, which concerns Charleroi, Mons, or even Brussels. “”We will know the passage of the cold front but with a bad phasing since the less hot air will already be installed in northern flows. The risk will be a little higher in the east of zone 2, in particular to Charleroi and the east of the Brabants“.

1722 activated due to the risk of thunderstorm

The number 1722 was activated due to the warning to thunderstorms issued by the Royal Meteorological Institute (MRI), the interior SPF said on Wednesday. This number can be used to apply for firefighters in the event of damage caused by a storm or water damage. If a life is in danger, it is the 112 that must be composed.

The 1722.be electronic window is the most direct way to request firefighters’ help, but it is also possible to contact this number by phone.

The electronic window and number 1722 have been set up to avoid overloading emergency power plants 112 and not to wait for people whose life is in danger. Telephone lines are sometimes saturated when many people call at the same time.
