The freezing temperatures are coming to an end on Sunday, with maximum temperatures above zero expected across the country, according to the Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI).
The weather will remain dry and sunny on Thursday afternoon. However, it will still be cold, with peaks of around -4 degrees in the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes) and -1 or 0 degrees in the plains.
On Thursday night, temperatures may drop to -13 degrees and the sky will remain clear.
Friday should also be sunny and cold, with maximum temperatures between -1 and -5 degrees, despite a sharp east-north-easterly wind, which will make the temperatures feel a few degrees lower.
