The weather in Ypres is very similar to that in the UK with mild summers that average at a comfortable temperature of around 16°C making it very easy to enjoy all the attractions but winters can prove particularly bitter with cold winds blasting across the area. Strangely many tourists who want to visit the war memorials and battlefield choose to travel during the colder months so as to understand the extremes that would have been experienced by troops in the trenches.
As in the UK showers can appear at any time and are unpredictable at the best of times, so it is always a good idea to prepare for every eventuality with umbrellas and raincoats at the ready.
