The climate of Den Helder (the Netherlands)
Den Helder is located in the most northern tip of North Holland. The
town was originally founded as a village for whalers. Throughout the
centuries the village developed into the home for lifeboat services,
ferries and naval vessels. Den Helder is the most important naval port
in the Netherlands. The climate is strongly influenced by the sea.
Because the wind usually comes from the sea fierce winds may blow in
Den Helder. This also means rain clouds dissolve rapidly. During the
winter temperatures are 5 degrees Celsius on average; this is a few
degrees higher than in the interior. During the summer temperatures
may rise to 25 degrees Celsius.

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:
