The week starts in code yellow: number 1722 active

A malfunction, linked to a depression core above the Netherlands, drags over our regions for the next 24 hours, only to be pushed away towards Germany by Tuesday. Our country starts the week in code yellow and the FPS Home Affairs has temporarily activated the number 1722.

The week starts in code yellow which means there is a chance of dangerous weather. It is recommended to be alert, especially when on the road. Mondays are overcast with periods of light to moderate rain. In the west it may get drier later in the day. We reach a maximum of 9 degrees in the High Fens to 17 degrees in the west. The moderate south wind clears to the northwest. At sea there is a fairly strong north-westerly wind with gusts of up to 50 to 60 km / h, the RMI says on Monday.

Monday evening and night it remains heavily clouded with rain in most places slowly shifting to the east. There can be quite a lot of rain locally. In the west, some clearings appear in the second part of the night. The minima are between 7 and 12 degrees inland and around 13 degrees at the sea. Inland the wind will be moderate from west to northwest. At sea, a moderate to fairly strong north-westerly wind blows.

On Tuesday it will be partly to sometimes heavily cloudy with some local showers. It is quite soft with a maximum of 15 to 20 degrees. There is a moderate to moderate breeze blowing from west to southwest.

Wednesday it will be changeable with clearings, but also a few showers. In the morning, fog and low-hanging clouds can limit the view of the Ardennes heights. The maxima fluctuate between 14 and 19 degrees with a moderate southerly wind.

Number 1722 active

The FPS Interior is temporarily activating the number 1722 because the RMI warns against bad weather. If your emergency zone has an e-counter, 1722 will refer you to the e-counter of the fire brigade.

The number 1722 is preemptively activated when a storm or flooding is announced. The fact that the number is triggered does not say anything about the severity of the warning and the extent of any damage.

The intention of the number 1722 is not to overload the emergency centers 112 and not to keep people in danger of death waiting. It is not an emergency number.
