A mix of sun, rain and cool nights in March in Zwolle. Okay for the Netherlands, but unfortunately not ideal for outdoor activities. But the rainy days offered beautiful scenery and the sunny moments were pleasant.
YasmineThe sun played hide-and-seek behind the clouds. Rain greeted us for several days. We were blessed with great snow, but be prepared for cold temperatures. Suitable for winter lovers, not for sun worshippers.
Amy RehorstThere were sunny days with a pleasant temperature of around 15 degrees, but it was often rainy and cloudy. During this time, warm clothes and an umbrella are required.
LucasAlthough there were sunny days, most of my stay was dominated by clouds and showers. The temperature was quite pleasant.
