The climate of Charleroi (Belgium)
Charleroi or Tchålerwè is the largest city in Wallonia (the Walloon
Region) in the province of Hainaut situated on the river Samber.
Charleroi is an industrial city with many large companies and an
airport with over 2 million passengers per year. The area around
Charleroi is called “The Black Country”. Coal-mines used to be the
largest source of income for the city. The closure of the coal-mines
led to a great rise in unemployment causing high crime rates. The old
coal-mines can be visited by the public. The moderate sea climate is
influenced by the Ardennes. Because of the higher altitude of the
Ardennes Plateau it is a little colder and wetter here. Summers can be
pleasant. However, you should bear in mind that a shower may fall.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
