Brussels on Thursday 15th May

Overcast but dry morning. Brief light shower around 13.00 local time
and then slightly brighter in the first half of the afternoon – low
cloud broke to some extent to reveal extensive high and medium-level
cloud and a few patches of blue. Overcast again from late afternoon.

Sky increasingly dark and threatening after 18.00. Heavy rain from
19.15 for 20 minutes or so with occasional thunder and lightning, but
not intense or overhead. http://www.buienradar.nl/h.aspx?jaar...t=loop24uur1x1

Rain eased and then stopped by 20.00. Storm seems to have been
concentrated here in the east of Brussels – almost no rain at Uccle in
the south. Still rather warm and close – light and variable wind.

Brussels Uccle 20.8°C - overnight minimum 14.7°C - and 0.7 mm
rain.
Brussels Airport 21.0°C - overnight minimum 12.3°C - and 13 mm.
