March 17, 2024 We say goodbye to the past. Today the club's new logo was introduced… Idea and design by Nathaniel Dessart.  |
March 1st, 2024 Our BMCB club has decided to stop offering Barani weather stations because of - in our opinion - their inferior quality. |
November 10th, 2022 Today our network welcomes a new Meteohelix and rain gauge in Solwaster (borough of Jalhay in the province of Liège) thanks to Jean-Philippe Grégoire. The weather station is located at an elevation of 361 meters.  |
November 8th, 2022 Thanks to Alexis Papapanayotou, a new MeteoHelix and rain gauge appears in Xhoffraix (borough of Malmedy, province of Liège). Elevation is about 515 meters.  |
November 5th, 2022 Thanks to hotel-restaurant-café SCHRÖDER, a new weather station was added in the eastern part of the country. The weather station is located less than 200 meters from the German border in the hamlet of Losheimergraben (Büllingen, East Cantons). The weather station consists of a MeteoHelix and rain gauge set up in the middle of a 90 x 350 meter meadow. With an altitude of 675 meters, it is currently the second highest weather station in our network after Botrange (690m) and just slightly higher than our weather station on the Mont-Rigi (672m). Besides the weather station, a webcam and snowcam were installed at the hotel. You can find pictures of it on this page.  |
October 18th, 2022 New weather today at Villers-le-Bouillt, not far away from Huy. A new MeteoHElix and rain gauge has been installed. |
October 17th, 2022 Today, northern Belgium in the Antwerp area received two new weather stations. Both have a MeteoHelix and pluviometer. The first station is set up in the northeast of the province of East Flanders at Kieldrecht (borough of Beveren), just 5 km from the Scheldt River and 2 km from the Netherlands.   |
October 10th, 2022 Today a MeteoHelix and rain gauge was also installed in Malderen (a borough of Londerzeel in Flemish Brabant). Thanks to the owner Hendrik Mertens and the neighbors where the weather station can do its work undisturbed. |
October 5th, 2022 Installation Team B is heading to Mont-Rigi today to also set up a BMCB station 250 meters away from the RMI's synoptic weather station so that every person visiting our website will get a weather update every 10 minutes. The club's weather station includes both a MeteoHelix, pluviometer and also a windmeter! In the first half of next month, a webcam and snowcam will also be placed here, giving you a full picture of the weather, including snow levels!  |
October 4th, 2022 Weather stations were placed at 3 locations today, each with a MeteoHelix and accompanying rain gauge. The locations were in the province of Antwerp: Balen (thanks to sponsor Gunter Willekens and the local department of Natuurpunt), the other two are in the province of Limburg: on wine estate Thilesna in Dilsen-Stokkem (thanks Johan Jacobs) and also in Zutendaal a weather station appeared along the Blotevoetenpad in Lieteberg. The latter weather station will soon also be joined by a windmeter on the 18-meter-high observation tower.      |
August 24, 2022 A new weather station was also inaugurated today in the municipality of Zele (province of East Flanders, between Lokeren and Dendermonde). Both, temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation and wind are measured there. Owner of the weather station is Patrik Haentjes of Meteo Zele. |
August 17th, 2022 At Galmaarden, a MeteoHelix with rain gauge was installed today. This new weather station is just under 4km away from the Onkerzele (Geraardsbergen) station. The big difference between the two stations is the elevation: Galmaarden is situated at 93 meters while Onkerzele is located in the valley of the river Dender at only 27 meters above sea level. |
August 11th, 2022 In the province of Limburg, 4 new weather stations were installed today (a Meteohelix and rain gauge each) :

August 8th, 2022 Today, Belgium's highest point - better known as the Signal de Botrange at 694 meters - received a new weather station after more than 40 years. Previously, the RMI also had a measuring point there (which was moved to Mont-Rigi, almost 2 km further away).   |
July 22nd, 2022 Today the weather station of Zarren/Kortemark (central West Flanders) was further expanded with a MeteoHelix. The station is now located at 10 meters from the border of Zarren/Staden.

The urban effect has now disappeared from the observations. The weather station will soon be joined by a pluviometer.  |
April 30, 2021 Today 3 new weather stations became operational in the BMCB-network:
All weather station are equipped with a Meteohelix (measuring temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation and atmospheric pressure) and MeteoRain devive (for precipitation). |
April 26, 2021 The most western part of Belgium also got its weather station: in the countryside, just outside the city of Veurne a MeteoHelix and MeteoRain device has been installed. The distance to the belgian coast is 5.8 km. Thanks to Bart Goudeseune for this nice measuring location! |
April 24, 2021

At Ster/Stavelot (province of Liège) equipment has been installed (MeteoWind from Barani Design) to measure windspeed and also winddirection. The station is located at an elevation of 511 meters above sea level and is currently the second highest place where winddata is captured, after the Baraque de Fraiture.
Also at Kluizen/Evergem, Ghent region - East-Flanders, a windstation popped up with similar equipment used at Stavelot. The pole has a height of exactly 10 meters, conforming WMO-guidelines. There are no obstacles in the vicinity of the weather station which guarantees perfect winddata.  |

|
February 9th, 2021 The website of Meteo Vlaanderen (later becoming Meteo-BE.net) is officially launched. For a lot of places the weather can now be monitored in real time. The weather stations are all identical and are set up in open locations as it should be. The exceptions to this are clearly indicated. The observations come from the Belgische Meteo Club Belge (BMCB). Measurements are carried out with (semi) professional equipment that is also used by the RMI in their climatic network. The observations are updated every 10 minutes. For more details, averages and totals you can click further on a station. The whole will be expanded even more in the near future. Stations are currently located in Jabbeke, Beernem, Avelgem, Merendree, Evergem, Silly, Courcelles, Herhet, Gesves, Chiny, Liège, Léglise, Baraque de Fraiture, Recht, Braunlauf, Amel and Büllingen. Many more stations are planned! The data of all these stations is public and may also be copied. We only ask for a link and mention to the source of all data and that is meteo-be.net… It does not take up much space! |
