Rhian Westbury February is the coldest month to visit Amsterdam, but you probably won't find a lot of snow as temperatures don't tend to drop below freezing. There's less chance of rain in February compared to Autumn or early Winter. But it's a great excuse to warm up with a savoury pancake stop (or two!) Rhian Westbury

Flying Fluskey April's weather can be a little hit and miss. There are 8 rainy days a month, and the temperature ranges from 7 - 13C. In the sunshine, it can feel rather pleasant, we had a delightful day exploring the tulips. However, if its a grey day, a jacket is required. Have a few back up museum visit planned for rainy days. Plan for indoor dinners rather than picnics and grab the warm moments when they appear. Flying Fluskey

Williams World We visited Amsterdam in August and I was surprised that the weather was very similar to the UK. As this was our second visit to the city (we had last visited in May and the weather was glorious), I expected beautiful sunny days to explore Amsterdam. The weather was very mixed in August, yes we had some sunshine, but we also had a day when the temperature dropped and we had rain during the evening. Despite the cold and rain we still managed to get out and explore the city, and when the sun did shine and the temperature went up to around 18 degrees, it gave us the chance to soak up the sunshine in Amsterdam.
