The climate of Valkenburg (the Netherlands)
Valkenburg Valkenburg aan de Geul is located in the most southern part
of the province of Limburg. Larger cities such as
Maastricht, Aachen
(Germany) and Liège/Luik (Belgium) are in the vicinity. Once a year
Valkenburg is the cycling capital of the Netherlands when the Amstel
Gold Race is held on the Cauberg. Several cycling events are organized
for amateurs. Several footpaths are set out here for those who want to
enjoy the hilly scenery. There is also enough to do for the less
active among us: the thermal springs, the casino and the many terraces
that can be enjoyed in the old city center. Valkenburg is also known
as ‘Marl City’. The caves near Valkenburg attract more than 100,000
visitors every year. Although Valkenburg is situated a long way from
the sea it has a moderate maritime climate with cool summers and mild
winters. Valkenburg gets about the same amount of precipitation as the
coastal places. Temperatures are slightly higher here than in the more
northerly located cities. Extremes in temperatures may occur, because
the climate of Valkenburg is only slightly influenced by the North
Sea.

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:
