More about the weather in Amsterdam in June
In terms of weather, June is normally a good month in which to visit Amsterdam. That is true most years, and it looks like 2026 is no exception.
Sure, in the first half of June we are seeing changeable weather. It’s quite windy, and the forecast calls for some rain. But the temperatures are quite mild. And it looks like warm, mostly sunny weather will return soon.
Mind you, Nederlanders (the Dutch) grew up with this more of less standard weather forecast: In the morning sunshine and here and there’ some rain; in the afternoon sunshine with now and then a shower. (Brilliant, right?)
Fortunately, when it rains in June the showers tend to be short and intermittent.
As for the sunny part, it is rare that you see a completely blue sky, because the sun often must compete with cumulus clouds.
What is a ‘Kwakkelzomer’?
A kwakkelzomer is a summer with unsteady periods of dry, warm weather and often rain showers. In other words: changeable, frequently inclement weather conditions with too little typical summer weather.
Not quite “four seasons a day” – as some jokingly claim. But certainly days when the sun shines brightly one moment, and it rains the next. Or all-day showers, all-day sun, or all-day grey and gloomy.
Where our weather information comes from
Our weather data is based on long-term averages and current forecasts as reported by various meteorological services, including the Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut (KNMI) — the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI).
Plus our personal observations. We’re Amsterdam locals.
What to see and do in Amsterdam in June
There is plenty to see and do in Amsterdam this month. For instance: Banksy, ‘Drive’ an F1 car, Music, Food, Climb the city’s Towers, See hidden Gardens, Theater, Exhibitions, and More.
Amsterdam sees tourists year-round. June is part of the high season. So book your hotel or other accomodation early.
If you have particular museums, activities, and excursions in mind it also pays to plan ahead. Many museums and other attractions limit the number of visitors per day, and some experiences may be fully booked. Therefore, book your tickets as soon as possible. Our trusted ticket partnet, Get Your Guide, offers Reserve Now & Pay Later service for many venues.

What to wear in Amsterdam in June
For the most past it’s shorts and T-shirts weather — or, as the case may be, skirts and tops or summer dresses. Short sleeves!
Jeans, light slacks, or — if you tend to be on the cold side — light sweats are fine, too, especially at night.
As always you should plan for a mix of weather: lots of sunshine interspersed with (brief) showers and/or overcast days.
Don’t go overboard with the rain gear. The weather is mild, even when it rains and/or is overcast. If thundershowers are in the forecast it can be muggy as well.
You’ll just have to play it by ear. If it looks like it’s going to rain for quite some time, visit a museum and/or catch a movie. If only showers are expected, enjoy the outdoors and pop into a pub, coffeeshop (or coffee house) or an eatery for a while.
Photo Tip
When it’s sunny and the skies are blue, you can take fantastic, postcard-like photos in Amsterdam.
Just remember: your pictures will have the bluest skies when you shoot them while standing with your back turned toward the sun. Otherwise the sky tends to come out white and washed out.
You’ll want to use a lens hood on your camera as well.
