Climate change will make weather extremes more common. Wet summers will be wetter, hot summers will be hotter. This year we’re experiencing the first part, Eastern Europe the second part.
Honestly I’m happy to be in the blue zone.
Well it looks like it’s pretty normal in Belgium
I remember it being about the same last year. Back then we just had some more hot days.
Love the cool weather, I hate heat.
In few years you will like summer with 15C and some rain….
If I have to choose between the shitty summer we’ve had to far, or another 35+ scorcher, I’ll take the shitty summer any day of the week.
But yeah, it’s not normal.
because the poles warm up more quicker and there is less temperature difference between the poles and the equator the jetstream becomes lazy. If your north of the jetstream you’ll get wetter weather (2021/ 2023) if you’re south of it you have warm dry weather (2018-2019) Back in the the the jet stream was more meandering so you got a week bad weather, a week good weather aka, the classic belgian summer
Its on vacation
people: Climate change is a hoax.
also people: climate is different to what I’m used to, how come?
It’s the jetstream. Go to windy.com and put it at 10km altitude wind speeds. You’ll see it’s curving below us but then goes north to curve around eastern europe. The jet stream acts like a wall, our weather is coming from the north, in eastern europe, their weather is coming from the south.
Climate change lowers the temperature difference between equator and poles. Lower temperature difference weakens the jetstream so you see those curves more often instead of just a straight west to east jetstream.
ELI5 explanation
I know it kinda sucks but we really should count ourselves lucky to be in the left part.
Love it, tbh. As a true Belgian, I don’t like the sun much. Or is it PTSD?
Temperatures are actually very normal this year, more than in recent years. The average daily high in July is about 23°C (which we’re clearly below today, but last week and next week we’re often slightly above).
The only exceptional thing about this year is the amount of rain. It was also pretty bad in 2021. But back in 2018 and 2019 we had extremely long dry periods which are even more of a concern and which can definitely also happen more often in the future.
Basically, the amount of rain we’re getting isn’t increasing or decreasing overall, but seems to be concentrating more and more in specific years.
It’s summer?
Kyogre vs Groudon
I remember, long ago, reading a scientific article saying that with climate change, belgium will get a ton of rain all the time because it’s located in an area that is perfect for that.
I hope this year is not the beginning of this change.
Ask oil companies
You guys are having a summer?
Our planet is dying… This will only get worse
Wakie wakie, climate is chaos thanks to humans activity !
Btw no matter what the climate does, life will find a way. But are WE able to find a way ? Because at this rate we may not have the time to adapt and just die in mass.
(Yes I know I’m a happy guy)
I’m freezing mostly
It was a beautiful Tuesday
Temperature is perfect right now.
Summer? We dont do that here.
Best summer I ever had! Be gone sun!
I’ve heard it’s an issue with the Jet-stream due to climate change changing the temperature of the atlantic ocean. The jet-stream is less steady than it used to, so the athmospheric changes are slower, making it so that some parts of Europe are stuck in a rainy/cool zone while other parts are in an arid/hot zone.
It’s already so hot over there I can’t imagine what a +14 degrees feels like, I find it interesting that the common conception is that global warming would just spike temperatures but I feel like over here in belgium we have had less hot days, we even had hail yesterday, my assumption is that when everything warms up you also have more water evaporation which kind of counteracts the heat
Climate change.
I’m currently living in Hungary. It’s very, very hot and humid here. Yesterday, we got almost 40°C.
At least the global warming is not happening in France and Belgium /s
It’s great? Your map shows there’s no anomaly. Fantastic.
Welke zomer man?
summer is not in Belgium
Could it be that the Earth has simply been constantly changing since its beginning (regardless of all theories)…?
I flew from Hungary to Belgium this week. Can’t stress the difference. In Budapest, Hungary the current temperature is 37C (about 99F) and in Brussels, Belgium it’s 15C (about 59F) and raining lol.
This year it’s different, it happens.
Huh, summer? Isn’t this fall?
Moet ergens aan doodgaan hé, hoe rapper hoe beter
Now do precipitation
Simple: God hates the balkans
Wet and cold summers will probably become more frequent as climate change leads to more arctic ice melt, cooling down the surface of the northern atlantic ocean. Summers with 20°C avg highs with multiple centimetres of rain a week might be the new normal in 10-15 years.
Chilly autumn in Ireland
Its summer
Trust me im in romania rn and it’s horrible, we got 27 degrees at night, in the day its like 38-39. Its too hot, Its unbearable

For some reason I couldn’t properly crosspost this image here. It was [posted by u/GreenIbex](https://old.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1e0xodg/temperature_anomaly_forecast_for_europe_12_to_19/) on r/Europe, and reminded me of [this recent weather talk](https://old.reddit.com/r/belgium/comments/1dwl5ai/whats_up_with_summer_this_year/) on this sub. Let’s complain about the rain while half of Europe is being roasted. 🤷
