Amsterdam Weather

Amsterdam is situated largely on the water and is right near the North Sea. Like much of Holland, winters in Amsterdam are quite mild, lending the city to popularity in year-round tourism. The oceanic climate of the city means that the temperatures rarely drop below minus five degrees Celsius at night, with winter daily averages around five or six degrees Celsius. Winter days are short, usually only seeing sunshine for about two hours a day, while summers rise to about seven hours of sunshine a day. Summers are rarely hot in Amsterdam. The average highs during the day hover about 21degrees Celsius, with the temperature meeting 30 degrees Celsius for only about three days a year. The city is very temperate; there just is not a bad time of the year to visit Amsterdam. However, the city is notably wet. With the proximity to the sea, this is understandable. There is an average of 186 precipitous days in any given year, doling out over 800 millimetres of moisture over that time. The great temperatures will draw tourists to Amsterdam in spite of the rain, though many may opt to rent a car to keep dry, as most of the rainfall comes in short bursts or a light drizzle. On average, the rainiest months of September to November have between 16 and 19 rainy days in the month, and the driest months of April and May have about 14 wet days out of the month. Cheap car hire Amsterdam Schipol Airport is one of the best ways to see the city and the outlying areas of Holland in contrast to public transport. The airport has seven on-site car hire agencies, including National/Atesa, and Budget.
