Brussels, the capital of Belgium, experiences a transition from spring to early summer during May. Typical conditions include mild temperatures, increasing sunshine, and occasional rainfall. Average high temperatures range from 15-20C (59-68F), while lows typically hover around 8-12C (46-54F). This period sees a decrease in the frequency and intensity of precipitation compared to the preceding months.
Pleasant daytime temperatures make May an attractive time to visit Brussels. Outdoor activities become more enjoyable, and the city’s parks and gardens begin to flourish. This period offers a comfortable balance between fewer crowds than the peak summer months and more favorable weather than the colder seasons. Historically, May marks the beginning of the tourist season in Brussels, as the city prepares for the influx of visitors during the warmer months.
