The climate of Gelderland (the Netherlands)
Gelderland is a province located in the central eastern part of the
country bordering Germany. Gelderland is the largest province in the
country and borders the provinces of Limburg, North-Brabant,
South-Holland and Utrecht. If you don’t take Lake Veluwe (Veluwemeer)
into account Gelderland also borders the province of Flevoland. Arnhem
is the capital of the province; the largest city is Nijmegen. Several
popular regions are situated within Gelderland: the Veluwe, the Betuwe
and the Achterhoek. The open air museum and the GelreDome stadium,
both situated in Arnhem attract many visitors every year. The former
Royal castle Paleis ‘t Loo is situated in the vicinity of Apeldoorn
and is a national museum nowadays. The Annual Four Day Walking Event
in Nijmegen is the largest annual event in Gelderland attracting tens
of thousands of people from more than 70 countries. Despite its
situation in the interior Gelderland has a moderate maritime climate
slightly influenced by the warm Gulf Stream. During the winter longer
periods with subzero temperatures (during the night) are not uncommon.
During these periods precipitation falls in the form of sleet or 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:
