The climate of Breda (the Netherlands)
Breda is a large city located in the western part of the North-Brabant
province. Breda was founded in the 12th century and developed into one
of the largest cities in the Netherlands. The old part of the city was
built around Breda Castle. Nowadays this castle is home to the Royal
Military Academy. One of the most beautiful buildings in Breda is the
Church of our Lady or Large Church. Breda is a lively student city
with many cosy squares and places to go out. During the first sunny
days of the year the terraces on the Grote Markt and the Havenmarkt
are crowded. The soccer club NAC Breda play their home matches in
Breda. Breda has a moderate maritime climate lightly influenced by the
warm Gulf Stream. Breda gets quite a large amount of precipitation
because of a strong westerly wind supplying rain from Zeeland. Winters
are cold. However, longer periods with subzero temperatures are
uncommon. During days with subzero temperatures precipitation falls in
the form of (wet) snow. During the summer temperatures are just above
20 degrees Celsius on average.

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:
