May
May is perhaps the ideal time to visit Amsterdam. The May-traveler is likely to get a shocking sixteen hours of sunlight per day by the end of the month. With temperatures consistently rising into the low º60s and seldom getting much lower than the mid-forties, it’s no wonder that the city really comes alive in May.
You’ll want a good light jacket and plenty of long-sleeved shirts if you’re planning on a May visit to Amsterdam. Though the weather is on the whole very seasonable in May, it can always change quickly in Amsterdam. You should be prepared for both warm sunlight and cold winds from the water. Chilly days will follow lovely ones, so a smart traveler will be prepared for both, and will carry a backpack with light sweaters and layers as they venture into Amsterdam’s beautiful parks. Having an umbrella handy will serve the smart traveler well.
The average high temperature in an Amsterdam May is º61 (F)/º16 (C). The average lows are º46/º7, with an overall average temperature of º54/º12. Every May in Amsterdam there are an average of 17 days above º60 (F).
