We’ve been talking about it for several days but it’s a certainty: the storm Ciara will land this Sunday on Belgium. From 11 am, the speed will exceed… 80 km / h and it will last all day Sunday, the night Sunday to Monday and even Monday.

► Why the storm is called “Ciara”
?

“This is a very deep depression located on the Atlantic with a pressure of 940 hP in the nucleus,” analyzes David Dehenauw from his offices in Ostend. The meteorologist tells us that the storm will affect all of Western Europe.

“As of Sunday afternoon, there will be 9 to 10 Beaufort winds from the southwest turning to the west. Sunday evening, there will be 6 to 7 Beaufort winds inland. Monday, on the Littoral, it will be between 7 and 8 Beaufort ”. According to his forecasts, we could exceed 100 km / h throughout Belgium. “It will go up to 120 km / h or more locally. And there are risks of thunderstorms, “he warns.

► Better to be careful: good advice from insurers.

Monday will still be very chaotic. “The wind will be from the west over a good part of the North Sea. We will have gusts between 90 and 100 km / h with the consequence of a fairly high high tide over Ostend then Antwerp ”. On the North Sea side, some booms should be closed on Monday when the tide is highest. That is to say in the early afternoon.

For David Dehenauw, there will probably be damage that we can fear throughout Belgium. “It will be really rowdy on Sunday at the end of the day and during the night. “. In any case, he advises to remain vigilant and not to go out. This rowdy weather should be for the whole next week. “The problem, especially for the south of the Sambre and Meuse furrow, is that it will rain a lot. We expect between 20 and 40 liters per square meter to be harvested between Sunday and Wednesday. ” In short, it will be necessary to be attentive to the announcements of Sethy concerning the risks of floods.
