☁️ Sunday 1 November: an All Saints' Day under a blanket of low cloud
🌙 Tonight: fog sets in
A thick fog spreads over Flanders, the coast, the Brussels region and western Hainaut, often with less than 200 metres of visibility. Walloon Brabant, Flemish Brabant, the Hesbaye, the Campine and Limburg come under low cloud and thick mist, as does the Sambre-Meuse valley late in the night. In the south, skies stay largely clear over the Famenne, the Ardennes and the Gaume, with at most a few fog patches in the valley bottoms. It is 2 to 6°C, 1 to 2°C in the Ardennes, with locally some ground frost and sub-zero temperatures in the hollows of the Ardennes valleys. The weather stays dry.
🌫️ Sunday morning: very dense fog in the north and west
At daybreak the fog remains very dense over Flanders, the coast and western Hainaut, and only lifts late in the morning. Elsewhere, low cloud and mist cover the centre, the Hesbaye, the Campine and the Sambre-Meuse valley, with no real breaks. The Ardennes ridges disappear into the cloud, and only the Gaume sees the sky open up at times.
☁️ Sunday afternoon: grey everywhere
A thick, uniform layer of low cloud covers the country from the coast to the Ardennes. Only Gaume might see a few bright spells, and very timidly elsewhere for the lucky few. It's 10 to 11°C in the lowlands and 7 to 8°C in the Ardennes. Not a drop of rain.
🌙 Sunday evening: still grey and dry
The cloud ceiling remains low over most regions, and the air is cool and humid. No rain.
💨 The wind
A light north-easterly wind is blowing, with gusts of 20 to 25 km/h.

- On your way to the cemetery in the morning, take extreme care in the fog in Flanders, on the coast and in western Hainaut
- A warm jacket will do, no need for an umbrella
- If you can, travel towards the end of the morning, once the fog has lifted
- Monday morning, bring your umbrella from the coast to the centre
Reliability is very good for Sunday: grey and dry weather is well confirmed, and the dense fog in the north and west is confirmed by overnight measurements. The exact time the fog will lift remains more uncertain. The light rain Monday morning is well confirmed; the intensity of the cold and frosts mid-week remains to be determined.
