Default Furious thunderstorm in Brussels

:Brussels on Wednesday 29 June

Brussels Airport 27.3°C - overnight minimum 16.5°C - and 25 mm rain in
12 hours to 18z on Wednesday. Much of this fell in 10 to 15 mins at the
height of the storm.

Brussels Uccle 28.2°C - overnight minimum 16.7°C.
2 mm rain overnight and 26 mm in 12 hours to 18z on Wednesday - total 28
mm.

Up to Tuesday, Uccle had had only 6 mm rain in June. This would have made
it the driest ever June there in a record going back to 1833.

Very heavy rain in southern Belgium during today's storms - Chièvres near
Mons 57 mm, Charleroi 61 mm.
