Weather radars in Belgium

Two weather radars are operational in Belgium. The Wideumont radar is installed in the south of Belgium and is operated by the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium. The Zaventem radar is located near Brussels and is operated by Belgocontrol (Air Traffic Safety). Both radars are C-band Doppler radars.

The map below shows the locations of the two Belgian radars. The circles indicate the 100-km ranges. Also shown on the map is the location of the Avesnois radar owned by Météo-France, which provides a  good coverage of the south-east of Belgium.
