🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Amsterdam is a delightful "shoulder season" with temperatures ranging from +14°C to +19°C . While it is one of the driest months, the North Sea breeze is unpredictable. Clothing: Think "Onion Style"—layers are key. A light windbreaker or a stylish raincoat is essential for canal-side walks. Daylight: With nearly 16 hours of light, you can enjoy the "Golden Hour" around 20:30, perfect for family photos. Logistics: The city is bike-friendly, but with children, the GVB tram system is your best friend. Always carry a small umbrella even if the sun is out!
