The climate of Rotterdam (the Netherlands)
Rotterdam is one of the largest ports in the world. About 6.5 million containers are processed in this city on the river Maas. Most of the goods are transported to other European countries, both by truck and boat via the Maas and the Rhine. Rotterdam is also known as Europoort (gateway to Europe). The largest part of the goods imported into Europe go through the Rotterdam port. Rotterdam has a unique character. The status of harsh sailors and the fact that Rotterdam was completely destroyed during WWII have left their marks on the city. Rotterdam is modern and harsh; a city in which everybody works hard. This is probably also why the battle song of Feyenoord which is the biggest soccer club in Rotterdam is: Actions speak louder than words (“Geen woorden, maar daden”). This really characterizes the mentality in Rotterdam. Rotterdam has a typical Dutch climate. Heavy rain during spring and autumn and cold and bleak winters with piercing winds make working in the docks unsuitable for the faint-hearted. Because of the influence of the wind Rotterdam only gets a few days with subzero temperatures.
