About weer-meteo.be

weer-meteo.be is an independent weather site in Belgium. Not a generic portal telling the same story everywhere, but a site built specifically around the towns, regions and warning system in Belgium. Every figure on a page can be traced back to a named public source — forecast model, warning service or climate record — listed on the methodology page, so you always know whether you are reading a forecast, a model estimate or an official warning.

Everywhere in Belgium, the site has a dedicated page for every town: the next few hours, a 7-day table, a 15-day trend, and, where available, an interactive map of temperatures, wind and pollen. Every region page gathers its towns and its own climate trend, so you can compare two parts of the country at a glance.

Beyond the forecast, every page also brings together wind, the UV index, air quality and, where the data exists, pollen: the idea is that a single page should cover the essentials before you head out, without opening five tabs to cross-check five different sources.

Forecasts come from Open-Meteo, an open weather service that combines several numerical weather models — the European ICON from Germany's DWD, the American GFS from NOAA, and the ECMWF IFS, the global reference — and picks the most reliable source for each town and each time range, at its exact coordinates and elevation. The alerts shown on the site come from the official Meteoalarm feed, fed in Belgium by the RMI (Royal Meteorological Institute): we don't issue any warning ourselves, we only relay what the competent authority reports.

Forecasts are recalculated three times a day, and the live block on every page refreshes every hour; the 7-day and 15-day tables are rebuilt every night from the latest available data.

weer-meteo.be is not an official warning service and should never replace safety instructions: in case of dangerous weather, the RMI (Royal Meteorological Institute) is the authority that matters, and we simply relay their bulletins. We're not meteorologists either: we gather and display public data, we don't produce it.

weer-meteo.be doesn't sell any personal data, and doesn't resell its forecasts to other sites either: the site lives on advertising shown next to the content, never instead of a figure or an alert. We'd rather keep a page a little plainer but accurate than spectacular but approximate.

A missing town, a wrong coordinate, or an awkward translation? Write to us at contact@weer-meteo.be with the page in question: we usually correct it within a few days.
