Climate Chart of Amsterdam, Netherlands

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, 4.3 °C, while July has the highest, 18.1 °C. These figures describe average conditions across each month, not typical daytime maximum temperatures, so they do not show the full range a visitor might experience within a day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 10.8 °C. It is a summary of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in October at 3.08 mm/day and lowest in April at 1.69 mm/day. These are daily averages within the named months, not monthly totals; the lower figure does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how frequently rain occurs. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall means is 2.31 mm/day. It offers an overall reference, but does not describe the timing or frequency of individual rain events.

Sunshine

Average daily sunshine reaches its highest level in June at 11.47 hours/day, and its lowest in December at 2.94 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not the same as day length, and these averages do not guarantee the conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean across monthly sunshine averages is 7.67 hours/day hours per day, a broad summary rather than a forecast for any visit.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in January at 1.61 mm/day; the unweighted mean across monthly daily-snowfall means is 0.45 mm/day. These amounts do not establish how many days have snowfall, how deep any snow becomes, whether it settles, or whether snow cover is present.

Best Travel Time Guide for Amsterdam, Netherlands: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant reference, with a mean temperature of 4.3 °C. This is a monthly mean, not a daytime high, so it cannot tell you exactly what temperatures to expect on specific sightseeing days. If lower average rainfall is your priority, April is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 1.69 mm/day; pack for changeable conditions all the same, since this average neither guarantees dry weather nor measures rain frequency. Rain preparation is especially relevant for October, when mean daily rainfall reaches 3.08 mm/day.

For planning outdoor time around average sunshine, June has the highest mean daily sunshine at 11.47 hours/day, while December has the lowest at 2.94 hours/day. These are sunshine-duration averages, not measures of daylight length or guarantees of clear skies, so they are useful context rather than a day-specific forecast. Recorded snowfall averages are highest in January at 1.61 mm/day per day. That figure alone cannot establish snow cover or conditions for snow-dependent activities, so check forecasts close to travel rather than treating the average as a promise of snow.
