The following information from the 1977 Edition of THE WEATHER ALMANAC
may help, even though it is 21 years old. All temperatures are in
Fahrenheit.

I would figure that conditions in Belgium would be similar to those in
The Netherlands and Luxembourg. Liechtenstein will be similar to Austria
and Switzerland climatically. As one can see, this is very different from
Montana. Since my information is 21 years old, the extremes given may have
since been exceeded.
