When travelling to some places in Netherlands, always consider the altitude of the the place as well. The highest point here is Mount Scenery (862 m) and the lowest point is Zuidplaspolder (-7 m). So there are not big differences in altitudes in this country. But the altitude affects the weather even so. Keep in mind, that the temperature usually decreases by 1.2 - 1.9 ℃ (2.2 - 3.5 ℉) per 200 m (656 ft), depending on the other conditions. (And we should add, that in the very special condition named thermal inversion even the temperature may be higher in higher altitudes.)
