A comparison of 65 cities in Netherlands by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop. A comparison of 12 regions of Netherlands by VanSky score — where it's most comfortable to travel right now. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea.

The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.

The scale above shows what share of the country's cities falls into each comfort band. “Best spot” is the most comfortable region or city this week; “typical conditions” is the median score across regions.

VanSky Index

A weather comfort index for travel: a 0–100 score. Recalculated daily from live weather data — temperature, rainfall, wind and sun.

80–100 Ideal
60–79 Comfortable
40–59 Acceptable
20–39 Challenging
0–19 Extreme

How it's calculated:

  • Thermal comfort 35% — temperature + humidity
  • Sunshine 25% — panel charge, mood; in heat the sun is no longer a bonus
  • Precipitation 25% — rain → muddy ground
  • Wind 15% — awning, driving, noise
  • Extremes override all: frost, heat, storm, downpour
  • Heat counts by feels-like temperature: at 32°+ the score can’t reach “Comfortable”, muggy nights lower it further
  • A dangerous day drags the week down: a storm or downpour in the forecast keeps the week from being “Comfortable”
  • Bonus: warm sea, high panel output

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best city in Netherlands for van life?
Sort cities by the VanSky column — the higher the score, the more comfortable today. Also check solar panel output and sea temperature if you plan to stay near the coast.

A score from 0 to 100 reflects a composite weather assessment: thermal comfort, precipitation level, wind strength, and sunshine. 80+ is ideal, 60–79 is comfortable, 40–59 is acceptable, below 40 is challenging.
How often is data updated for Netherlands?
Weather data for all cities in Netherlands is updated several times a day from the Open-Meteo service based on real observations.

Four fines issued during holiday traffic check on A2 near Elsloo

Dutch police fined four drivers during a holiday traffic check on the A2 motorway near Elsloo last Saturday. The check targeted caravans, trailers, folding campers and motorhomes. All vehicles were weighed and inspected for compliance with legal requirements. Three drivers were fined for speeding, one for a defective breakaway brake system (losbreekreminrichting). Another driver was found with a fake driving licence; his car contained stolen copper, both the car and the copper were seized. Warnings were also issued for overloading, failure to produce a registration certificate, an insufficiently visible licence plate and worn caravan tyres. The fire service was present, checking the safety of fire extinguishers and gas cylinders in caravans and motorhomes.

Belgian navy couple extinguishes smouldering caravan tyre in Westerscheldetunnel

In the Westerscheldetunnel (Netherlands), a caravan tyre began smouldering after a puncture. Lien and Anthony, both Belgian navy personnel, immediately used a mini fire extinguisher from their camper and later a foam extinguisher from the tunnel wall to fully suppress the fire before firefighters arrived. The cause was a puncture. The caravan was towed away; no injuries were reported.
