The climate of The Weerribben (the Netherlands)
De Weerribben is a large nature reserve in the north western part of
the province of Overijssel. The Weerribben are part of National Park
Weerribben-Wieden. The area is one of the largest marshlands in Europe
and is managed by the private nature-conservation organization
Natuurmonumenten. Large parts of the area were used for peat
production causing the area to transform into marshlands. The
Weerribben are still used for reed production. Several bird species
live here, along with roe deer, foxes and European otters. In 2004 the
Weerribben were declared the most beautiful area in the Netherlands.
The Weerribben has a moderate maritime climate influenced by the North
Sea and slightly influenced by the Ijsselmeer (Lake Ijssel). Winters
are cold with temperatures just above freezing point. During the
summer daytime temperatures are around 20 degrees Celsius on average.
Precipitation is evenly spread out over the year.

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:
