The heatwave in Belgium is intensifying, with the latest forecasts from the Royal Meteorological Institute (KMI) confirming that temperatures will soar even higher. On 2025-06-30 11:11:00, the KMI issued a warning that the heat peak has shifted, now affecting both Tuesday and Wednesday. This means Belgians should brace for not just one, but two days of extreme heat.
- Hittepiek verschuift naar dinsdag en woensdag
- KMI kondigt code oranje aan hitte
- Temperaturen stijgen woensdag boven 35 graden
- Weerman benadrukt drie tropische dagen al
- Gemiddelde zomer telt vijf tropische dagen

Will the much-anticipated relief from the sweltering summer heat arrive soon? Unfortunately, the KMI predicts that Wednesday’s temperatures will exceed 35 degrees Celsius, pushing the limits of what many consider a typical summer. How unusual is this heatwave for Belgium, and what should residents expect moving forward?
With the KMI declaring an orange code alert, it’s crucial to understand the local impact and prepare accordingly. Here’s what you need to know.
Why has the heatwave shifted to cover two days, and what does this mean for daily life? The extended heat peak raises concerns about health and energy use across Belgium. Key points include:
- Three tropical days have already been recorded, nearing the summer average of five.
- Code orange signals a significant risk, urging vulnerable groups to take precautions.
- Higher temperatures can strain public services and increase energy demand.
- Outdoor activities may need adjustment to avoid heat-related illnesses.
As the heat continues, Belgians should monitor updates from the KMI and follow recommended safety measures. Could this heatwave be a sign of more frequent extreme weather? Only time will tell, but staying alert is the best way to stay safe.
