Weather

The Netherlands has a typical maritime climate, with cool winters and mild summers. Be prepared for blustery and changeable weather, however, and only a handful of sunny days in summer - although global warming may be changing that. Precipitation is spread rather evenly over the calendar, and spring is marked by short, violent showers.
