2023-12-03 17:26:00

Snowy day in Belgium this Sunday. The IRM has extended its yellow alert for slippery conditions until Monday morning for all of Belgium. Indeed, the snow that falls this afternoon risks turning into freezing rain in the evening, due to the freezing cold. So be careful if you take the road.

One to three centimeters of snow are expected. In Wallonia and Flanders, some places are already covered with a beautiful white coat. Particularly in Limburg and Hainaut.

For the first time this season, snow also fell in Brussels. Snowflakes began to fall at the beginning of the afternoon, and the streets of the capital gradually became covered with a small white layer.

In the second part of the night this Sunday, a new disturbance will affect the west and south-west of Belgium. We must therefore be wary of a new risk of freezing precipitation in the West. Along the French border, some light snowfall will also be possible. The minimums will oscillate between -4°C in Hautes Fagnes and 2°C elsewhere.

On Monday, a new area of ​​sometimes wintry precipitation will quickly invade the country through France. Temperatures will rise slowly to reach 2°C in the Hautes Fagnes and 6°C in the plains at the end of the day. The wind will be moderate to fairly strong, with gusts of 50 to 60 km/h.
