I dug into Amsterdam's numbers expecting London-lite drizzle — wrong. The city averages 838mm over 18 rainy days per month in November, the worst single month. But May-July averages drop to 60mm. I cycled the canals in early June and the data matched: 19°C, 7 sunshine hours, 11km/h wind. The hidden window is September: sea still warm, 17°C, hotel rates drop 30%. The numbers say skip winter — January averages just 4°C with 90% humidity.
