The climate of Breskens (the Netherlands)
Breskens is located in the north eastern part of Dutch Flanders in the
province of Zeeland in the Sluis municipality. Breskens is connected
to the island of Walcheren by a foot and cycle ferry from Vlissingen
to Breskens. Breskens is situated where the Westerschelde flows into
the North Sea. Fishery has always been the main source of income.
However, since the 1970s Breskens attracts many more tourists and the
village has become a popular seaside resort. In the vicinity of the
village several holiday parks can be found. Breskens has a moderate
maritime climate influenced by the warm Gulf Stream and the North Sea.
During the summer temperatures are just above 20 degrees Celsius on
average. However, a sea wind may cause things to feel a bit colder.
This wind also causes rain to move further into 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:
