Gentle, but perfectionists might find it too cool for swimming. There was little rain, and when it rained, it was short and strong. Lovely vacation weather.
ElskeThere were sunny but also rainy days. The temperature fluctuated between 10 and 15 degrees. Not ideal conditions for a beach vacation, but comfortable enough for a relaxing vacation.
Geert SleegersThe evenings were a nice way to cool off from the heat. Only a few days of rain.
Vera RongenIdeal for lovers of warm climates. However, it can be very hot, making it difficult to do anything at times.
