and, as such, some of the information contained herein may be outdated and cannot be There are 6 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Brussels. So air conditioning is a big luxury. This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water. In theory, one can ski in Belgium but this is to be avoided: there are no decent slopes, no decent material is for rent in the 'resorts', and there is only enough snow for 0 to 10 days per year. In 2020, the shortest day is All data relating to the Sun's position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book,
Daylight saving time (DST) is observed in Brussels during 2020, starting in the spring on
So one day you might have 5C and rain, the next day 12C and sun.
All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's The thin dotted line is the corresponding average liquid-equivalent snowfall. The average hourly temperature, color coded into bands. Please note that the discussion was closed to any additional postings as of Nov 1, 2016
The figure below shows you a compact characterization of the entire year of hourly average temperatures. The length of the day in Brussels varies extremely over the course of the year. Canals freeze about every 12 years. In summer there are about 20 days around 25C and 10 days around 30C.
Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night. So May to September are better than the winter months, although the art cities (Bruges, Antwerp, Gent, Leuven) can be enjoyed year round. Time zones for airports and weather stations are provided by Names, locations, and time zones of places and some airports come from the Rapid and frequent alternation of different air masses separated by fronts gives Belgium considerable variability in weather. travel plans.
The percentage of hours in which the mean wind direction is from each of the four cardinal wind directions, excluding hours in which the mean wind speed is less than This is true even for the driest month.
Winds tend to be slightly stronger in winter but the most constant weather pattern would be rainfall.
