It will be sunny and warm today with highs of 20 to 26 degrees. It will also remain summery in the coming days with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees. Later in the week, the risk of rain and thunderstorms increases, but it remains warm, reports the RMI.
Warmer air is flowing into our country, pushing the mercury up to summer values in many places today, explains Nicolas Roose of NoodweerBenelux. The cause is a spur from an area of high pressure that comes from the southwest, it seems.
And we can feel it: in many places the mercury climbs to 26 degrees today with the maximum number of hours of sunshine. A few cumulus clouds may appear in the extreme west and north-west of the country. The wind is weak from the northeast or from varying directions. At sea the wind will be moderate from north to northeast.
Be careful, the UV index is high, which means you burn quickly in the sun. Lubrication is therefore the message.
