Belgium typically experiences a transition into late autumn during November. Expect cool temperatures, increased precipitation, and fewer daylight hours. Average highs range from 7-10C (45-50F), while average lows hover around 2-5C (36-41F). Rainy days are common, often accompanied by overcast skies and occasional fog. While snow is less frequent than in the later winter months, it’s not unheard of, especially in higher elevation areas like the Ardennes.
Understanding the climatic conditions prevalent during this period is crucial for various sectors. Agriculture, tourism, transportation, and even retail are influenced by the shift in weather patterns. Historically, November has marked a period of preparation for winter, with activities adapting to the shorter days and cooler temperatures. This understanding allows for better planning and resource allocation across different industries.
