Since the previous meeting on August 25, rainfall in Wallonia has been minimal. The situation therefore remains similar with regard to the drought index of l’IRM compared to last week, i.e. an extremely dry diet. For the next 7 days, the moderate showers which are announced – up to 10 liters by the beginning of next week – will have little influence on the drought situation, further specifies the cell in a press release.
