The climate of Schiermonnikoog (the Netherlands)
Schiermonnikoogis one of the smallest of the seven West Frisian islands. Only one village is located on the island, also named Schiermonnikoog. Many bicycle tracks and footpaths can be enjoyed on the island. Tourists are not allowed to bring their cars to the island. The scenery is beautiful; the entire island is a National Park. Schiermonnikoog is always shifting. Due to the combined effect of current and tides the sea erodes parts of the island on one side and deposits silt on the other side. Because of this phenomenon the entire island moves east. Schiermonnikoog has a maritime climate. The influence of the sea is much stronger here than on the mainland. Clouds dissolve rapidly here, so there is little rainfall. However, the weather may be very bleak during autumn and winter. During the autumn the sea is still warm, this causes large amounts of rain to fall on the island during this period. During the summer temperatures are very pleasant. Especially in the dunes on the leeward side temperatures may rise. However, the ever blowing sea wind offers some cooling.

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
