The climate of Scheveningen (the Netherlands)
Scheveningen is one of the oldest seaside resorts on the Dutch coast.
Ever since the beginning of the 19th century the well-to-do from the
Hague came here to enjoy the sea and the beach. The beautiful Kurhaus
hotel is still a silent witness to this period. Unfortunately large
parts of Scheveningen were destroyed during WWII. The Germans used the
boulevard of Scheveningen as a defense line against the allies. The
entire village was barricaded and the population was ordered to leave.
Nowadays Scheveningen again is the seaside resort it once was with
many activities. You can visit Sea-Life, the “Sculptures by the Sea”
museum and musical enthusiasts can visit the famous Circus theater.
Scheveningen has a maritime climate. Because of the ever blowing sea
wind Scheveningen is windier than other places in the country. This
also causes clouds and rain to dissolve more rapidly. The number of
rainy days is lower than in other parts of the Netherlands. During the
winter minimum temperatures are higher.

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:
