The climate of Arnhem (the Netherlands)
Arnhem is a city located in the eastern part of the Netherlands. The
city is famous for its so called ‘trolley-buses’. These are electric
buses covering the entire city. The open air museum is one of the
biggest attractions of Arnhem. The history of the Netherlands is
displayed here here in a playful way. Arnhem is situated on one of the
most beautiful national parks in the Netherlands: the Hoge Veluwe. A
very rich natural park with a large diversity in plant and animal
life. Because of its central situation in a network of waterways and
highways Arnhem is an important hub for connections to and from
Germany. Arnhem has a maritime climate characterized by high
precipitation figures. Because of its central situation Arnhem gets
more rainfall than other places in the Netherlands. Differences in
temperatures are smaller in a maritime climate than in a continental
climate. The number of days with subzero temperatures and the amount
of snow that falls here are small. Extremely low temperatures hardly
ever occur here. However, when subzero temperatures do occur De Hoge
Veluwe may transform into a fairytale scenery. This is likely to
happen in January and February.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
