Perhaps it was to be expected for this time of year, but the lack of sunshine was disappointing. However, the city has its own charm under the gray skies.
Jelte de WaardThere were several sunny days with temperatures around 22 degrees, but also many rainy days. The windy weather was a challenge. Despite the weather, the city is beautiful.
AbelIt is usually gray, cold and rainy here, which sometimes spoils the fun of city life. Although snowfall adds a certain charm, it makes travel treacherous. Be sure to bring warm clothes and waterproof shoes!
MilanThere were some sunny days, but also many rainy days. The temperature was comfortable: not too hot and not too cold. Sometimes a little unstable for outdoor activities.
MilanSometimes the sun shone, but it was sporadic. This gives the city a unique, cozy atmosphere, but be prepared for cold and wet days.
FlorisCold, damp and strong winds - typical Dutch winter weather. Be sure to wear proper clothing. However, the comfort of the city, cozy cafes and friendly residents provide a good counterbalance.
