North Holland borders the North Sea, The Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer (Lake Ijssel). North Holland borders the provinces of South Holland and Utrecht and is connected to the provinces of Friesland and Flevoland by dikes and bridges. The North Sea canal flows through the province connecting Amsterdam with the North Sea. Popular tourist destinations within North Holland are: Amsterdam, Volendam, Zandvoort, Den Helder, Ijmuiden, Egmond aan Zee the West Frisian island Texel and the former island of Marken. North Holland has a moderate Sea climate influenced by the North Sea. Precipitation is evenly spread out over the year. During the winter precipitation may fall in the form of sleet or snow.

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:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
