Cultural Note
Dutch summers are mild by European standards, with temperatures typically around 20-25 degrees Celsius. When it hits 25 degrees, the Dutch declare a 'zomerse dag' (summer's day), and at 30+ degrees it's officially a 'tropische dag' (tropical day). Terraces fill up at the first sign of sun.
