Construction weather in Tongeren
Building site conditions in Tongeren, Limburg, Belgium.
Weather designed for the building site, for every trade
Construction weather from Météo Belge turns the forecasts into site decisions, for every municipality and village in Belgium: frost that rules out pouring concrete or laying asphalt, gusts that force a crane into weathervane mode and halt scaffold erection, rain and air humidity that ruin paintwork or a façade render, waterlogged ground that holds up earthworks, and wind that turns a cladding panel or a roof slate into a kite.
Eight trades get a simple verdict for every day, Favourable, With caution or Avoid, with the reason in two words: masonry and concrete, roofing, cranes and lifting, scaffolding and work at height, painting and façades, earthworks and foundations, roadworks and asphalt, joinery and cladding. The hour-by-hour working window shows when the day opens up and when it closes again, and the 10-day planner lets you schedule crews in advance. The thresholds follow industry practice, including taking a crane out of service at 72 km/h gusts. The figures come from the same multi-model consensus as the rest of Météo Belge.
