The climate of Twente (the Netherlands)
Twente is located in the eastern part of the province of Overijssel.
The region is often referred to as the country estate of the
Netherlands. Twente is a rural area. The landscape in Twente is
characterized by many estates. Twente is divided into two areas by a
ridge, which gives Twente a hilly landscape. Because Twente is
situated on the German border the influence of the sea is not as
strong as in the more westerly located cities and regions. On average
temperatures are lower in Twente than in the rest of the country.
However, summers are warmer. Because Twente is situated in the
interior the region has lower precipitation figures than other places
in the Netherlands. Twente is one of the driest regions on the
country.

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:
