The climate of Venlo (the Netherlands)
Venlo is a small town located in the north-eastern part of the
province of Limburg in the vicinity of the border with Germany. The
area surrounding Venlo has been inhabited for centuries and became a
thriving city during medieval times because Venlo was a trading post.
Venlo was granted town privileges in the 14th century; during the same
century Venlo was fortified. During WWII many monumental buildings in
the old city center were destroyed. However, the beautiful town hall
and several other medieval buildings escaped destruction. Because of
this Venlo still has a medieval character. VVV Venlo soccer club play
their home matches in Venlo. Despite its location in the interior
Venlo has a moderate maritime climate influenced by the North Sea and
the warm Gulf Stream. Because Venlo is located in the southern part of
the country temperatures are slightly higher than in the more
northerly located places in the Netherlands. The difference is only 1
to 2 degrees Celsius. However, this difference is very noticeable.
Longer periods with subzero temperatures do not occur as often as in
other places.

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:
