According to the RMI, the easternmost provinces of our country in particular will have to swallow a lot of water. “Over a period of 24 hours, more than 25 to 30 liters per m² of precipitation can be recorded in parts of the provinces of Liège and Limburg. Over the entire rainy period, the amount at the heights of the province of Liège can rise very locally to 35 to 40 liters per m².”
