Grey and cloudy weekend in Amsterdam, chance of drizzle on Sunday

Amsterdam residents can expect a gray, cloudy weekend with temperatures hovering around 10 degrees and a possibility of drizzle on Sunday. This follows a record-wet October in the Netherlands that concluded with the season's first official storm.

The weekend in Amsterdam will be largely gray and overcast, with very little sunshine expected throughout Saturday. Temperatures are forecast to reach around 10 to 11 degrees Celsius, and while the day is expected to remain dry, conditions will be foggy in the morning. Sunday will continue the cloudy trend, with a higher probability of drizzle developing during the afternoon hours. By evening, rain is more likely as temperatures drop toward 9 degrees, resulting in a damp end to the weekend.

This weather forecast follows a notable October in the Netherlands, which was characterized by both mild temperatures and above-average precipitation. The month saw an average of 112 millimeters of rain, exceeding the usual 89 millimeters. The latter half of the month was particularly wet, featuring the arrival of storm Boelo, which was recorded as the first official storm of the year. While storm Austen also brought significant wind and rain, it did not reach the threshold for official storm status.
