Climate and when to go
Belgium enjoys a fairly standard temperate climate, with warm, if mild, summers and cold winters. Generally speaking, temperatures rise the further south you go, with Wallonia a couple of degrees warmer than Flanders for most of the year, though in the east this is offset by the more severe climate of continental Europe, and emphasized by the increase in altitude of the Ardennes. Luxembourg, too, has more extreme temperatures and harsher winters, often accompanied by snow. In both countries rain is always a possibility, and you can expect a greater degree of precipitation in the Ardennes and upland regions than on the northern plains.
As regards clothing, you should take heavy coats and gloves in winter, and lighter clothes and warm sweaters for the evening in summer. Some sort of rainwear is advisable all year round.
