Weather and Seasonality
The Netherlands has a temperate maritime climate with relatively mild winters, mild summers and precipitation throughout the year. The Netherlands owes this climate to the influence of the North Sea.
Many people have the idea that the Netherlands has a very wet climate, but that is a misconception that is mainly based on feeling and not on figures. On average, precipitation falls in the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail in the Netherlands during 7% of the time. That's equivalent to about one hour and forty minutes of precipitation per day.
Summer in the Netherlands
Dutch summers are generally changeable and unpredictable. There can also be a very erratic course of the temperatures and the weather picture within one summer. A warm and sunny June can be followed by a wet and grey July. Two weeks of bad summer weather can also be followed by a serious heat wave. Holidays in the Netherlands mean that you have to adapt to the whims of the weather gods. The greatest chance of sun is along the coast and especially Zeeland, the head of North Holland and the Wadden Islands.
Winter in the Netherlands
The winters are almost as unpredictable as the summers. In January, the temperature during the day can rise to well above ten degrees, but it can also freeze ten degrees during the day. The trend of the last decade of the last century and the beginning of this century in particular is that the winters are becoming slightly milder on average and that the chance of long periods of frost is decreasing. This is also noticeable in the number of days that one can skate in the Netherlands. The number of winters that can not be skated at all in large parts of the Netherlands is nowadays quite large.
Spring in the Netherlands
The meteorological spring arrives in the Netherlands on the first of March. Spring covers a total of three months: March, April and May. The average maximum temperature in this period rises from 11 degrees in March to 18 degrees in May. If there's a season where there can be big contrasts, it's spring.
