CLIMATE:

The Netherlands shares the temperate maritime climate common to much of northern and western Europe.

The average temperature range in Vlissingenin the coastal region is 1° to 5° C (34° to 41° F) in January and 14° to 21° C (57° to 69° F) in July.

In,De Bilt,in the densely populated central region of the,country,  the average range is -1° to 4° C (31° to 40° F) in January and 13° to 22° C (55° to 72° F) in July. 

Annual precipitation averages 690 mm (27 in) in Vlissingen and 770 mm (30 in) in De Bilt. Cloudlessdays are uncommon, as is prolonged frost.
