The climate of Bergen op Zoom (the Netherlands)
Bergen op Zoom is a medium-sized city located in the most western tip
of the North-Brabant province bordering the province of Zeeland.
Bergen op Zoom is situated on Lake Markiezaat which is separated from
the Oosterschelde by the Oesterdam. The surroundings of Bergen op Zoom
have been inhabited since Roman times. In the beginning of the 13th
century Bergen op Zoom was granted town privileges. Many remnants of
the rich history of Bergen op Zoom can be found in the old city
center. Among them are the Markiezenhof, the church of St. Gertrudis
with its pepper pot shape spire, the city hall and the Gevangenpoort.
The city is known for its tradition of anchovy fishing taking place on
Lake Markizaat. Bergen op Zoom has a moderate sea climate influenced
by the North Sea. The water in lake Markizaat strongly influences the
climate of Bergen op Zoom. Winters are cold. However, longer periods
with subzero temperatures are not as common as in the interior. The
influence of the water also causes summers to be slightly colder than
in the interior.

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:
