Summer is a beautiful time to visit Belgium. Expect mostly blue skies and warm weather. Still, bring along an umbrella or raincoat in case you get caught in a short summer rain shower. This is the time to wear shorts, dresses, and skirts. The days are warm and pleasant, and temperatures rarely get above 75°F. You might want to bring warmer clothes for the evening as temperatures drop down to around 55°F at night.
