The climate of Noordwijk aan Zee (the Netherlands)
Noordwijk aan Zee is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands and
was founded by the Romans. The old Roman fortified structures can
still be admired. Once every year the famous four day march is held
here. For four days the city on the Maas is filled with about 40,000
walkers from 70 different countries. The routes cover several
distances ranging from 30 to 50 kilometers per day. The four day march
in Nijmegen is the biggest walking event in the world. Young and old
participants, military and civilian, try to make it through the four
days. Nijmegen has a maritime climate influenced by the North Sea.
Because of the warm current that warms up the North Sea temperatures
are moderated. Differences in temperatures between summer and winter
are smaller than in places with a continental climate. However, this
doesn’t mean high temperatures are uncommon. In 2006 the four day
march was cancelled after one day because of the heat. Many
participants fainted and two people even died.

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:
