Amsterdam enjoys a moderate temperate climate, with the weather patterns being strongly influenced by Amsterdam's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the prevailing westerly winds. Winters are mild and average above freezing, although frosts are not uncommon during periods of easterly or northeasterly winds that blow from the interior of the continent. Summers are comfortably warm but seldom hot. However, although days with measurable precipitation are common, Amsterdam does not have an overly wet climate and averages less than 760 mm of precipitation annually. The amount of precipitation seems greater than it is in reality, as much of it falls as protracted drizzle or light rain. Cloudy and damp days are common, particularly in the cooler months.
