Heat stroke: should we expect to break temperature records?

We interviewed Pascal Mormal, meteorologist at theRoyal Meteorological Institute :”AfterAt the moment the models foresee the peak of the heat wave for the beginning of next week. 34 to 36°C seem realistic for the center of the country, but some model releases, rather in the minority, set the bar a little higher at around 36°C -38°C or even nearly 40°C.”

However, he specifies:

However, I do not think that we will beat the absolute record of July 25, 2019 when records were broken throughout the territory.

And to add:At the time, we had reached 40.2°C in Koksijde, 39.7°C in Uccle, 34.9°C in Mont-Rigi and the absolute record for the country 41.8°C in Begijnendijk.”
