How does weather affect a visit to the New Nijmegen Windmill?

Quick answer

Wind is essential for operation; rain affects comfort.

Weather significantly impacts the experience. Wind is crucial for the mill's operation; a moderate wind allows visitors to see the sails turn and the mill grind. On very calm days, it might not operate. Conversely, very strong winds can also lead to limited operation for safety reasons. Rain will make an outdoor visit less comfortable and can impact visibility, although the interior provides shelter. Check the local weather forecast before visiting.
