Belgium's Namur province enforces drought order amid fire risk

The governor of Namur, Denis Mathen, issued a drought police order effective immediately until October 1, citing dry weather, rising temperatures, and wind that elevate wildfire risk, with a peak expected on September 29. The order restricts activities in natural areas to prevent fires. This is a regional preventive measure, not a market-moving event, but signals heightened climate-related risk in the region.
