Traveller notes on Maastricht in August
Notes from nearby Brussels (94 km away)
Maastricht doesn't have its own notes for August yet — these are about Brussels, close enough to share the season.
Brussels' forum rates August as one of the better months weather-wise, alongside July, though regulars are candid that Belgian weather stays hard to predict even in summer — a 30°C day and a 15°C rainy one can both happen in the same week. A raincoat stays standard advice even during what's considered the best stretch of the year.
