According to Nations Encyclopedia (http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Europe/Netherlands-CLIMATE.html ), Netherlands has "a maritime climate, with cool summers and mild winters." Characteristics of this climate include:

• "The average temperature is 2°C (36°F) in January and 19°C (66°F) in July, with an annual average of about 10°C (50°F).
  
• Clouds generally appear every day, and in the winter months fog often abounds, while rainfall occurs frequently.
  
• Average annual rainfall is about 76.5 cm (30 in).
  
• The mild, damp climate is ideal for dairying and livestock raising, but the limited sunshine restricts the growing of food crops."(http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Europe/Netherlands-CLIMATE.html )
• Summers are warm with colder, rainy periods. Hot weather is rare. Winters are cold and windy, with rain and snow. (http://www.amsterdam.info/netherlands/geography/ )
  
• Rain falls throughout the whole year but spring being the driest season. (http://www.amsterdam.info/netherlands/geography/ )
  

Characteristics of the terrain include:

• Mostly coastal lowland and the land reclaimed from sea (polders);
  
• The land is low and flat.
• About half of the surface of the Netherlands is less than 1 m above sea level, and large parts of it (ca 24%) are actually below sea level. 
• Hills are only in southeast of the country. The country's highest point is 1,053 ft above sea level.
• The Netherlands is located at three major European rivers (Rhine, Maas or Meuse, and Schelde).
