The aim of this study was to compare meteorological surveillance data with epidemiological surveillance data in Belgium and to investigate the association between intense weather events and the occurrence of infectious diseases. Meteorological data were aggregated per Belgian province to obtain weekly average temperatures and rainfall per province and categorized according to the distribution of the variables. Epidemiological data included weekly cases of reported pathogens responsible for gastroenteritis, respiratory, vector-borne and invasive infections normalized per 100\u2009000 population. The association between extreme weather events and infectious events was determined by comparing the mean weekly incidence of the considered infectious diseases after each weather event that occurred after a given number of weeks. Very low temperatures were associated with higher incidences of influenza and parainfluenza viruses,\n                    <jats:italic>Mycoplasma pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                    , rotavirus and invasive\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus pyogenes<\/jats:italic>\n                    infections, whereas very high temperatures were associated with higher incidences of\n                    <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp.,\n                    <jats:italic>Shigella<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp., parasitic gastroenteritis and\n                    <jats:italic>Borrelia burgdorferi<\/jats:italic>\n                    infections. Very heavy rainfall was associated with a higher incidence of respiratory syncytial virus, whereas very low rainfall was associated with a lower incidence of adenovirus gastroenteritis. This work highlights not only the relationship between temperature or rainfall and infectious diseases but also the most extreme weather events that have an individual influence on their incidence. These findings could be used to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies.\n
