The current weather pattern in the Benelux is dominated by a persistent high-pressure system to the north and low-pressure areas drifting south of the region. As of 2025-05-12 11:00:00, this setup continues to bring dry and warm conditions, with temperatures reaching up to 25°C or higher in some urban areas. Despite nearby thunderstorms and frontal systems, Belgium remains largely shielded from significant rainfall.

Will this dry spell last, or can we expect rain to break the pattern soon? The answer lies in the evolving pressure systems and wind directions, which currently favour a continuation of sunny and dry weather across Belgium and its neighbours.
Before we explore the short-term forecast, here’s a quick summary of what the coming days hold for the Benelux weather.
Why is the rain so scarce in Belgium despite active weather nearby? The high-pressure system north of the Benelux blocks low-pressure areas from moving eastward. This creates a dry airflow from the north and east, limiting precipitation. Key points to consider:
- Monday to Sunday will see mostly sunny skies with occasional clouds near the French border.
- Temperatures will consistently hover between 20 and 25 degrees, cooler along the coast due to northerly winds.
- UV levels remain high around 6, so skin protection is essential during outdoor activities.
- Significant rain is unlikely before the last third of May, when some models suggest a shift to wetter conditions.
As we look ahead, will the dry spell persist or will May’s final days bring relief? Stay tuned to local weather updates and consider joining weather forums to share observations and photos. Active participation can help you stay informed and prepared for any sudden changes.
