On holiday in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is a beautiful country known for its colourful tulip fields, historic windmills and charming canals. The capital, Amsterdam, is a must-visit with its famous Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House and Rijksmuseum. Take a relaxing boat trip along the canals or rent a bike to explore the city in a typically Dutch way. Outside the cities, you will find picturesque villages such as Volendam and Marken, as well as the famous Keukenhof gardens, where millions of tulips bloom in spring. And don't forget to try a traditional Dutch pancake, or a portion of fresh herring if you're feeling adventurous!

The climate in the Netherlands

According to the Köppen system, the Netherlands has a temperate maritime climate (type Cfb) with relatively mild winters, mild summers and precipitation throughout the year. The Netherlands owes this climate to the influence of the North Sea. Many Dutch people think that the Netherlands has a very wet climate, but this is a misconception which is mainly based on feelings and not on figures. On average, precipitation falls in the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail 7% of the time in the Netherlands. That is equivalent to approximately one hour and forty minutes of precipitation per day. In total, on an annual basis, about 800 to 900 millimetres of precipitation falls. In extremely dry years, the counter can get stuck under five hundred millimetres locally; in very wet years, the precipitation total can be as much as a thousand millimetres. On 8 March 2013, a precipitation record was set that can never be broken again: for the first time since the recording of weather figures, it officially rained during all 24 hours of the day in De Bilt. This means that at least 0.1 millimetres of precipitation was recorded during every measurement (every ten minutes).
