The climate of Deventer (the Netherlands)
Deventer is a large town located in the southern part of the
Overijssel province, bordering the province of Gelderland. Deventer is
among the oldest cities in the Netherlands; the first recordings of
Deventer date back to the 9th century AD. At the beginning of the 12th
century Deventer was granted town privileges. In the surroundings of
Deventer remains of a Roman village were found. Deventer was heavily
bombed during WWII. However, several beautiful buildings can still be
admired. Among them are: the St. Lebuinus Church, the weighing house
which is leaning over off center and the Berg Church. The oldest stone
house of the Netherlands, De Proosdij in the Sandrasteeg can be found
in Deventer. This house is still in use, the earliest parts date back
to around 1130 AD. Every year a book market is held in Deventer, the
largest book fair in Europe which attracts more than 100,000 visitors.
The Dickens Festival is also an annual event attracting about the same
amount of visitors. The ‘Go Ahead Eagles’ soccer club play their home
matches in Deventer. Deventer has a moderate maritime climate
influenced by the North Sea. However, the influence is smaller in
Deventer than in the more westerly located places. This means chances
of longer periods with subzero temperatures are higher here. During
the summer daytime temperatures are just above 20 degrees Celsius on
average.
