Best Time to Visit Angleur #

Aim for late spring through early autumn (May-September) for the mildest weather and longest days. Winters in Wallonia are cool, damp and less predictable for outdoor plans.

Spring

March - May · 5-17°C (41-63°F)

Blossoming parks and variable weather - always expect a shower, but enjoy quieter cafés and lower tourist numbers in the city.

Summer

June - August · 15-25°C (59-77°F)

Warm, often pleasant and the liveliest time - outdoor terraces, festivals, and long daylight, though occasional rain keeps everything green.

Winter

December - February · 0-7°C (32-45°F)

Cold, gray and damp with short days - museums and cozy bars are appealing; dress for rain and occasional frost.
