Having now experienced Amsterdam in all four seasons I thought I would catalog some of the weather types that a visitor to this city might expect to encounter:
- Rainy
- Damp
- Wettish
- Soggy
- Thinking about raining
- Will probably rain later
- Looks nasty enough to rain, but no actual precipitation
- Cold
- Cold and windy
- Colder than it should be, it's May dammit!
- Snow falling but not sticking to the ground
- Hailing
- Snowing/Hailing
- Hailing/Raining
- Snowing/Raining
- Snowing/Hailing/Raining
- I'm just going to stay inside and open a bottle of wine
- Cloudy...ish
- Sunny, sort of
- Not sure
- Ambiguous
- TBD
- Decent biking weather
- A bit chilly/damp, but still bikeable
- Misery on wheels
- I'll take the tram today
- Raining tourists
Ah hah! I kid Amsterdam. We've actually had a few strings of quite nice days recently. But the weather around here? She is fickle!
