Before this lull, the thermometer will climb again in the coming days. “”This Wednesday, we will have a small rainy passage, with fairly limited quantities, nothing dramatiche explains. Then, from Thursday, the anticyclone will resettle, which will bring more stable and warmer time. Suddenly, from Thursday and Friday, the Mercury will date back to 26-28 ° C.“
What about weekends? “”Saturday should be the hottest day, with the possibility of crossing the CAP of 30 ° C againannounces Pascal MORMAL. It would be the fifth time this summer that this symbolic threshold has been reached this summer. On Sunday, we should observe a slight decline, but it will depend on the timing of thunderstorms that may fall. Overall, we will remain before that in a summer context, with still beautiful clarifications.“
But as the national holiday approaches, many wonder. Because the current forecasts are rather worrying, some even evoking the risk of “fall times”. So, a national drache for July 21? “”For the moment, there is indeed a little mixed time for July 21, with a little risk of showers, but nothing dramaticnuance the meteorologist. The temperatures would be around 23-24 ° C. At this deadline, we must remain cautious, but it will not be a catastrophic day. Do not expect continuous rain.“
A meteorologist warns in front of the “abnormal” temperatures of the next few weeks: “This type of configuration is worse than a heat wave”
A cooler week, but without excess
In the process, next week promises to be more classic, for Belgium. “”We would stay with temperatures from 22 to 23 ° C and a bit of a sawtooth time: a few rains, but also beautiful clarifieds. Nothing to do with a rotten weather, far from it“, reassures Pascal Mormal.
Uncertainty remains for the end of the month. “Around July 25, it is not impossible for a hot air to touch France. Belgium could remain a little on the sidelines, with 22-23 ° C, but some scenarios are considering a new heat peak.”
Since June 1, the average temperature has reached 19.5 ° C, against 17.1 ° C normally. “We are therefore about two degrees above, which is significant, observes the meteorologist. And in early July, we flirted with records. We knew extreme values, up to 38 ° C. We were not far from the historic maxima in Belgium.”
And for the future? “The seasonal forecasts remain stable: we remain on a positive anomaly, + 1 to + 2 ° C, which suggests a globally hot summer. No strong signal for excess precipitation, we expect rains in the standard.”
And, therefore, there is no new heat wave announced in the short term. “This is good news for those who do not like heat, but overall, summer 2025 will remain very hot,” concludes Pascal Mormal.
