The climate of Zoetermeer (the Netherlands)
Zoetermeer is a large city located in the north-western part of the
province of South Holland. The surrounding area has been inhabited for
about 1,000 years. However, Zoetermeer was founded in the 17th century
when Lake Soetermeer was impoldered. Zoetermeer expanded during the
20th century when the city acted as a growth community for The Hague.
The oldest building in Zoetermeer is the Old Church, parts of which
are from the 17th century. One of the most interesting buildings is
the Temple the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Unfortunately this building is off limits for the public. Zoetermeer
has a moderate maritime climate influenced by the North Sea and the
warm Gulf Stream. Winters are cool but pleasant. Because of the
influence of the North Sea extremes in temperatures are uncommon.
During the summer temperatures are just above 20 degrees Celsius on
average. However, temperatures may rise above 30 degrees Celsius.
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:
