The Weather

When the Dutch converse with each other, 9 times out of 10, the conversation revolves around the weather! It doesn’t matter whether it’s cold outside, rainy, windy or sunny. The weather is totally unpredictable in the Netherlands!

The sea has a great effect on the climate of Holland. The average winter is mild, although a sudden cold snap in January or February will have the skaters out with a vengeance on our lakes and waterways.

The summers are quite warm with temperatures averaging 16 to 17 degrees centigrade in July and August. In the east and south-east winters are a few degrees colder and summers a few degrees warmer. Spring is the driest season.

Every season in the Netherlands has its charm. Your purpose for a visit here can be influenced by that 'charm'.

January 2.2 °C July 16.8 °C
