Climate in Brussels: Temperature, Rainfall, Humidity & Sunshine

Global Climate Score

The climate in Brussels is defined by its maritime character, resulting in mild but often overcast and drizzly conditions throughout the year. Summers are generally pleasant with moderate temperatures, rarely reaching extreme heat, which makes them perfect for outdoor cafe culture. Winters can be quite chilly and grey, often requiring residents to adapt their social lives to indoor venues. While sunshine is not as abundant as in Southern Europe, the lack of extreme weather events makes the city very predictable. Most residents accept the weather as a small trade-off for the city's incredible central location.
