Belgium (Eurotoday Newspaper): Belgium is preparing for Storm Darragh this weekend, with strong winds of 60-90 km/h and heavy rain. A warning is in place due to flooding risks.

Belgium is preparing for Storm Darragh this weekend, with the first effects expected from 13 December Friday night to 14 December Saturday. The Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI) forecasts rain and wind gusts of 60 to 70 km/h. By Saturday afternoon, winds could reach 80 to 90 km/h, especially along the coast and in the Ardennes. A warning has been issued nationwide, alerting people to the dangers of strong winds and heavy rain. Emergency services are ready, and a special number has been set up for non-urgent weather calls to help reduce pressure on emergency hotlines.
What effects will storm Darragh have on Belgium’s wettest year and flooding risks?
This storm is hitting Belgium during its wettest year ever, raising concerns about flooding in some areas. With 2024 experiencing many heavy rain events, drainage systems are under pressure. Residents are advised to secure outdoor items, avoid unnecessary travel during the storm, and stay updated with official weather information. The RMI warns that strong winds and saturated ground could lead to fallen trees and power outages, so people should take care over the next few days.
On Sunday, winds will ease, but there could still be snow in higher areas, with temperatures between 2 and 8°C. Authorities are advising caution for travel and outdoor activities. Storm Darragh may not hit Belgium as hard as other countries, but it reminds people to prepare for bad weather.

Oh joy, just what we needed—more wind to blow our umbrellas inside out and rain to turn the streets into canals. 🌧️ Hope everyone’s got their flotillas ready; at this rate, I’ll be taking my taxi via gondola! 🚤😅
