RMI meteorologist David Dehenauw: “It’s now 27.6 degrees in Ukkel. The old record of 27.3° from 2011 has been broken,” Dehenauw writes on X. “It’s never been this warm in Ukkel so late in the year.”
As predicted, today’s weather is fairly sunny and very warm for this time of year. This morning, maximum temperatures of 24 to 29 degrees were forecast, and that forecast has proved accurate: this afternoon, 27.6 degrees Celsius was recorded at the RMI.
This has broken the previous record for today’s date in September set in 2011, when the temperature reached 27.3 degrees. It has never been this warm so late in the year before, according to David Dehenauw, head of the RMI’s Forecasting Department. He adds that the final result of the measurement will be known by this evening.
