Interesting to get such a combination of mostly sunny weather and
warmth this late in the year and only a month from the winter
solstice. In southern England, which has a similar sort of climate to
Brussels, I don't believe I've ever experienced sunny/warm weather
between about Nov 5th and mid January inclusive - and very, very
rarely in the second half of January. The frequency of such conditions
seems to fall off dramatically once we leave October, but increase
fairly dramatically again as we get into mid February.

Can anyone recall any proper warm sunny days in the mid Nov to mid Jan
period? (and I don't mean showery days where the showers just so
happen to avoid your location, such as last Sunday - I mean proper
"settled" sunny weather)

Brussels newspaper "Le Soir" - quoting the Belgian Royal Meteorological
Institute - notes that Saturday's max. temp. of 17.6°C is the highest on
record at Uccle in the last third of November. Previous highest during
this part of November has been 16.8°C on 3 occasions. Uccle's temperature
records go back to 1833.

Up to and including 19th, average temperature at Uccle so far this month is
9.5°C (average max. 12.1°C and average min. 7.0°C). These figures are,
respectively, 3.4, 3.2 and 3.5 deg C above the long-term average for
November as a whole.
