The climate of IJmuiden (the Netherlands)
IJmuiden is a medium-sized port located in the western part of the
province of North Holland on the North Sea. IJmuiden is part of the
municipality of Velsen. The town hall of this municipality is in
IJmuiden. IJmuiden is situated on the banks of the North Sea canal
which is connected with the North Sea by several locks. Several
harbours and a marina are situated here. One of the largest fishing
ports is situated in IJmuiden. The recreational area surrounding the
city is called IJmuiden aan Zee. IJmuiden has a moderate maritime
climate influenced by the North Sea and the warm Gulf Stream. Summers
are pleasantly warm with temperatures just above 20 degrees Celsius.
However, during the warmest days of the year temperatures may easily
rise above 30 degrees Celsius. During the winter temperatures are a
few degrees above freezing point. Because of the influence of the
North Sea longer periods with subzero temperatures (during the night)
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:
