The good news is that May in Holland often is the sunniest month of the year, with on average up to 15 hours of sunshine a day.

However, this month tends to have as many cold days as it has warm days — and there can even still be night frost, especially during the first half of the month.

January tends to be Amsterdam’s coldest month.

You can expect anything from gloomy days with (near) freezing temperatures to deep blue, cloudless skies with lots of sun.

Snow? You can almost count on it.

Historic buildings in Amsterdam’s centuries old city center are subsiding due to climate change, it is claimed.

Lengthy periods of dry weather result in a lower ground water level, causing the tops of wooden foundation piles to fall dry and crumble.
