How people dress in Amsterdam
- Rain falls on 12–15 days in every month, so a waterproof jacket with a hood is more practical than an umbrella.
- Wind is a constant factor, so a windproof layer makes cool days feel much warmer.
- Summer highs average only 21–22 °C, so pack a light jacket even in July.
- Winters are damp rather than very cold, with lows around 2–4 °C, so a warm, water-resistant coat and a scarf are enough.
- Cycling is the main way to get around, so clothes you can ride a bike in and rain gear are common.
