In terms of weather, June is a good month to visit Amsterdam.

Lots of sun and blue skies, with the usual clouds and/or (brief) rain showers every now and then.

The good news for Amsterdam is that May often is the sunniest month of the year, with on average about 8 hours of sunshine a day.

The bad news is that the weather is as fickle as Dutch weather can be.

April weather in Amsterdam is a study in contrasts. It can be sunny and warm one day, only to look and feel like a fall day the next. Don’t believe us? Just keep checking our Amsterdam weather forecast for April 2023 throughout the month.

March in Amsterdam is characterized by erratic weather. In fact, the old joke that the Netherlands has four seasons a day is more likely to make sense in March than in any other month.

Normally February is the one of the coldest months in the Netherlands. It’s a toss-up whether January of February is the coldest time of the year to spend in Amsterdam.

But February is also one of the driest months, and there are quite a few sunny days. Often this is the month that ice skating is possible.

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.

December is not the rainiest month in Amsterdam, nor the coldest. But you should expect a fair amount of precipitation — usually in the form of rain or wet snow.

It rarely snows in December. But if and when it does, you’re in for a treat.
