Climate chart - Maastricht
The climate of Maastricht is sub-oceanic, humid and rainy, influenced by currents from the Atlantic and the North Sea, with cold, gray winters and mild or pleasantly warm summers.
The city is located in the far south of the Netherlands, in the province of Limburg, near the border with Belgium and a short distance from the border with Germany.
The wind blows frequently, and can be intense, especially from November to March.
Winter, from December to February, is not very cold for the latitude, but is often humid, windy and rainy. There may be relatively mild periods, when Atlantic currents prevail, and other colder periods, when the temperature drops below freezing and it can snow.
Sometimes, there can be cold spells, in which temperatures can drop as low as -10 °C (14 °F) or even below. In fact, Scandinavian high pressure systems can reverse the normal circulation and bring very cold periods, which in the past were more frequent. The cold record is -21.4 °C (-6.5 °F), set in February 1929.
Even in spring, until April or the first half of May, there is often cold and unstable weather. In April, there may still be some snow showers.
In summer, from June to August, the temperatures are generally pleasant and lend themselves to outdoor activities, although there are cool and rainy periods, and sometimes thunderstorms can break out.
At times, hot periods can occur, generally of short duration, which in recent years are becoming more frequent due to global warming, and in which the temperature can exceed 30 °C (86 °F). On the hottest days of the year, the temperature typically reaches 34/35 °C (93/95 °F). The heat record is 39.6 °C (103.3 °F), set in July 2019.
