Weather

When you have to pack your suitcase for the period of six months and at least two seasons, you will have to think first. That is when I started my real investigation about the weather in Belgium. After I read about the average temperature in Belgium on Google, I started putting out my summer clothes. So, finally I could close my bag. :) But...
June was very nice, sunny with a bit of rain. July and August were so hot, up to 35 degrees that I even went to the nearest lake Lilse Bergen and swam. Thank God I brought the swimming suit, we all needed refreshments. So, yes, Belgium has a hot summer and you should bring your tiny summer stuff.
September started with raining every day and only 12 degrees, which was a huge difference. But still there were sunny warm days.
The real definition of the Belgian weather is that you never know how it is going to be. You have to be ready for everything: the raining (umbrella and rain coat always in your pocket although some Belgians do not wear them), wind (winter clothes) and hot sun (hat, shorts and swimming suit).

I am curious about the snow and how does the winter in Belgium look like. Anyway, it is coming soon...
