Average
temperatures this spring only climbed to 8.1 degrees Celsius. This
makes it the coldest spring since the seventies. The past 10 weeks also
had dark and gloomy weather, and it doesn't look as if things are about
to change, at least not in the 5 or 6 coming days. "As things are
looking now, we will make it into the top-10 of the springs with the
least hours of sunshine."
There
are still 10 days to go before spring ends and summer starts, but
things are not looking bright. For the moment, the average spring
temperature in Belgium (since 1 March) is 8.1 degrees Celsius, which is 2 degrees below the average.
"This
is remarkable", admits the VRT's weather presenter Frank Deboosere.
"It's 40 years ago that we had such a cold spring. And another thing is
that we haven't had a lot of sunshine so far. At the end of May, we will
probably finish in the top-10 of "darkest" springs ever."
That's
not all: the cold, wet weather is to continue for at least 5 or 6 days.
Wednesday should see a (short) drier spell, but a northerly wind brings
cold air on Thursday and Friday, with fresh rain and heavy showers. "We
could even have some sleet in the Ardennes. It's now 3 successive
months that we are having colder temperatures than usual, and this is
really exceptional."
