The climate of Delft (the Netherlands)
Delft is a large town centrally located in the province of South Holland in the Delft municipality. Delft is also known as ‘The Prince’s town’ because it has close connections with the Royal family. Willem van Oranje (William of Orange) was murdered in the Prinsenhof (Prince’s Court) in 1584 by Balthasar Gerards. The mausoleum of Willem van Oranje can be found in the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church). In this church the Royal Family also has their crypt. The tower of the Nieuwe Kerk is the second highest church tower in the Netherlands; the Dom Tower in Utrecht is the highest. The old city center of Delft has been well preserved. Among the most beautiful buildings are: the Prinsenhof, Nieuwe Kerk, Gemeenlandshuis, the City Hall, the Weighing house, the Oostpoort (Eastern Gate) and the Oude Kerk (Old Church). Besides all these sights it is very nice to stroll through the small streets and courtyards. Delft has a technical university. Delft is also known for its ‘Delfts blauw’ (Delft Blue) This white porcelain with blue drawings was originally used as a cheaper alternative for the more expensive Chinese porcelain. Delft has a moderate maritime climate strongly influenced by the North Sea and the warm Gulf Stream. Because of these influences there is little difference in temperature between summer and winter. During the summer daytime temperatures are around 20 degrees Celsius; during the winter a few degrees above freezing point. Longer periods with subzero temperatures are uncommon.

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:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
