August

August is one of the best times to visit Amsterdam. Most every bar, restaurant and café in Amsterdam has outside seating, and the festival-season reaches its peak in August. August in Amsterdam sees the tourist season at its height. Long, mild days and cool nights are the norm.

With temperatures occasionally reaching to above º80, you’ll want to bring a lot of warm weather clothes. The nights are pretty cool, though, so as always it’s a good idea to bring layers you can easily shed and put back on. Flip-flops are great for the beach, but you’ll want to be able to change these out for more comfortable shoes when touring the cobblestone roads of old Amsterdam. Summer showers are not infrequent, so having an umbrella at hand is a wise decision. Insect repellant is likewise a valuable property in the Amsterdam August.

The average high temperature in an Amsterdam August is º70 (F)/º21 (C). The average lows are º55/º12, with an overall average temperature of º62/º16. Every August in Amsterdam there are an average of 14 days above º70.
