If you're planning to travel to Amsterdam this summer, be prepared... it's cold in the Netherlands!
At the summer's halfway point, the maximum temperature had only reached a measly 15.7 degrees Celsius. It hasn't been that cold this time of year since 1987.
With just half a month to go before the official end of summer, we are starting to see some warmer temperatures and the sun seems slightly less afraid to show its face. In June, we saw an average of 94 millimeters of rain, 26 millimeters more than normal for this time of year.
So, when packing your suitcase, make sure to include an umbrella and some wellies. Layers are also best for this type of weather so you can add or take off clothing pieces as necessary.
This is the perfect weather to check out some of Amsterdam's fantastic museums, restaurants and shops, many of which have been covered in past entries on the blog.
And with half the summer left, there's always a chance for better weather in the days ahead.
