Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in PE as well as at Brussels, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

No month stands out as busy; quietest in January.

The year in Brussels

Brussels experiences a temperate maritime climate with variable conditions. Rain is common throughout the year, particularly in the autumn and winter months.

Busiest
early Jun to late Aug — Summer months are popular for tourists due to warm weather and numerous events.
Quieter, still good
early Apr to late May — Spring is pleasant with blooming flowers and moderate temperatures, attracting fewer crowds.
early Sep to late Oct — Early fall offers mild weather and less tourist traffic compared to summer.

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
