No warning in force

There is currently no yellow, orange or red warning in the official source. That does not mean the weather is calm everywhere: an isolated thunderstorm or steady wind can stay below the warning thresholds. Detailed forecasts for each town are on the town pages of this site, and sea or mountain phenomena are covered by the specialised bulletins of the RMI (Royal Meteorological Institute).

Understanding the warning levels

Yellow: be aware

A dangerous phenomenon is possible or under way, but of moderate intensity. Usual activities remain possible; stay informed, especially if you are outdoors, in the mountains, on the water or on the road.

Orange: be prepared

A dangerous phenomenon is forecast. Damage, transport disruption and real risks for exposed people are possible. Postpone exposed outings if you can and follow the instructions of the authorities.

Red: exceptional danger

A dangerous phenomenon of exceptional intensity is forecast. The risk to people and property is high. Avoid any journey that is not essential and strictly follow the instructions of the authorities and the emergency services.

What to do when a warning is issued

Read the full official text, which gives the area, the times and the advice. Tell your family, secure light objects when it is windy, keep away from rivers and flood-prone underpasses during heavy rain, and follow the evolution: a warning can be raised, lowered or extended. In an emergency, call the emergency number of your country.

Where does the data come from, and when is it updated?

The warnings come from the official Meteoalarm feed (EUMETNET), supplied in Belgium by the RMI (Royal Meteorological Institute). This site relays them unchanged and issues no warning of its own. The page is rebuilt at every automatic update of the site, at least once a day, and the time of the last reading is shown at the top. Between two updates a warning can appear, change or end without the page knowing: for a safety decision, open the official source.
