Best Answer

The climate is influenced a lot by the North Sea, which is deep enough to act as a heat sink and smooth out extreme temperatures, while being shallow enough to allow for a few weeks of quite hot weather (30+ degrees Celsius) in the summer and a few weeks of cold (under -5 degrees Celsius) in winter.

Winds from the north and west approach the Netherlands across the North Sea, leading to cooler springs and summers, and milder autumns and winters, all with lots of rain or snow. When the winds turn and blow from the south and east this results in mostly dry weather, with warmer temperatures in spring and summer, and colder autumn and winter.

Since the Gulf Stream is aimed directly at the North Sea the climate is a lot warmer than most other areas at our latitude. In January 2012 for example Great Britain and the Netherlands were the last areas north of the 50N latitude to receive any significant amount of snow.
