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.

Normally the weather in Amsterdam during the month of November is best characterized by the word ‘turbulent.’

Dutch farmers refer to November as wind– or dolmaand — windy or crazy month. Oh, and it’s the rainiest month of the year.

October weeather in Amsterdam: On average you can expect lots of grey days, some sunny days, some rain, and an occasional storm.

We’ve enjoyed an unusually sunny September, but it now looks like fall has well and truly arrived. There’s rainy weather ahead.

On average August is the sunniest of the three summer months. It is also the rainiest, but showers tend to be brief.

Expect lots of blue skies, dotted with white cumulus clouds.

Amsterdam’s July weather can be precarious: it’s the warmest month of the year, but you can also encounter wet and cool days (or weeks, even).
