The climate of Kinderdijk (the Netherlands)
Kinderdijkis a village located in the Alblasserwaard region in the
province of South Holland where the rivers Lek and Noord flow into

are no longer used for this purpose. The mills are a popular tourist
attraction; one of the windmills is open to the public. Kinderdijk has

Gulf Stream. Kinderdijk has four distinct seasons with pleasantly warm

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:
