What's Amsterdam like in November 2026, and how should I plan my days?
Expect cool, wet and short days. At Schiphol the November average high is 10.0 °C (50 °F) and the average low 4.5 °C (40 °F), with about 85 mm of rain over 13 days and only about 67 hours of sunshine in the whole month. Sunset moves from 17:11 on November 1 to 16:35 on November 26, so plan outdoor sightseeing before 16:00 and save museums, concerts and, from November 26, the Light Festival for the evening.
