Den Helder is on the tip of a lowland peninsula jutting out into the [[North Sea]] Because of this, Den Helder's climate is heavily moderated by the maritime environment. Also, Den Helder is one of the sunniest cities in the Netherlands.<ref>[https://www.knmi.nl/klimaat-viewer/grafieken-tabellen/klimaattabellen-per-station (Dutch) Climate table, per station.] KNMI.nl, retrieved 12 January 2021.</ref>
