The climate of The Hague (the Netherlands)
The Hague is the country’s royal seat and seat of the Dutch government. The Queen works at Noordeinde Palace in The Hague. This city is also the seat of the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the Yugoslavia Tribunal. Because of all these important and international organizations the Hague is crowded with governmental officials. This also means you can have a very nice lunch, dinner, drink or coffee in one of the many cafes, restaurants and bistros. There is always something to do in The Hague. Even on the rainiest day there are demonstrations on the square facing the Dutch Lower Chamber (‘Second Chamber’). Because The Hague is situated very close to the sea the climate is strongly influenced by the sea, even more so than in other places in the Netherlands. This also means temperatures are slightly higher here than in the rest of the country. Because of the constant sea wind clouds dissolve rapidly and when rain does fall this is usually short lived.

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
