    Speakers´ Corner: Time for the weather



    Did you already know something about the Belgian climate before you came to live here? In one month of November we can have 20 cm of snow on the ground, in the next not a single drop of rain will fall for three weeks. If there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that the weather seems to be unpredictable.
