In winter months, such as January (minimum average temperature 2.1°C) and December (minimum average temperature 3.2°C), there is a possibility of snow or sleet, especially during cold spells, but the data indicates a predominance of liquid precipitation.

When planning a trip to Rheden, it's important to prepare for the changeable weather typical of the Netherlands. Key factors are frequent, though usually light, precipitation (averaging 12-16 rainy days per month) and wind.

Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are transitional seasons. Temperatures change gradually: from a cool 6-7°C in March and November to a more comfortable 13-15°C in May and September. During these periods, a mid-season jacket, jumpers, and the ability to easily combine clothes by adding or removing layers are ideal.
