The climate of Haarlem (the Netherlands)
Haarlem is a large town located in the southern part of the province
of North Holland on the banks of the river Spaarne. The town was
founded in the 10th century AD and was granted town privileges in the
13th century. During the 16th century the town flourished because of
the textile industry. In the 19th century the first railway in the
Netherlands was constructed between Haarlem and Amsterdam. The
historic city center has been well preserved. Among the most beautiful
buildings are the town hall, the meat hall and the St. Bavo church.
W.A. Mozart played the pipe organ in the St. Bavo Church once. You can
also visit the Frans Hals Museum and the Teylers Museum in Haarlem.
Haarlem has a moderate sea climate with four distinct seasons. Summers
are pleasantly warm with temperatures just above 20 degrees Celsius on
average. During the winter temperatures are just above freezing point
on average. Longer periods with subzero temperatures are not uncommon.
Autumn and spring are typical transitional seasons.

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:
