Amsterdam, Netherlands

Set in an ocean-tempered climate, Amsterdam (Netherlands) is best understood through its weather data: our 2015–2024 climate record puts its peak at a 94/100 sun score in June, exactly the kind of reliability you want for a long-weekend city trip.

The year runs from average lows of 2°C in January to highs of 22°C in August. Rain is most likely in November, when about 48% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in May (34%). No month averages 24°C highs, so this is a destination for light-jacket sunshine rather than beach heat.

Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 14°C highs with 36% rain-day odds, summer 22°C at 42%, autumn 15°C at 46%, and winter 7°C at 45%. That makes summer the statistical sweet spot (season score 94), with spring a workable second; winter is where the odds thin out.
