With the forecasted rise in temperatures, staying hydrated is essential to one's wellbeing. To avoid dehydration during a heatwave, aim to consume over 2 litres of water in a day.
Today, 12 June, Meteo Bruxelles predicts temperatures to hit a high of 30°C. While it may cool down over the weekend, next week will begin with highs well over 30 C, with a possible 38°C on Tuesday, 19 June. This forecast still has time to change, but being prepared in case a heatwave is in our future is a good way to stay proactive.
Though sometimes hard to find, the Brussels Region has multiple public water fountains for passers-by to quench their thirst, and the region continues to add more to account for the rise in temperatures.
