Cycling Weather in Amsterdam
Live cycling verdict for Amsterdam — rain, headwind and gusts, temperature and the best hours to ride.
This page runs the live GoNoGo Weather tool for Amsterdam. It pulls the current hour-by-hour forecast for the city's own coordinates from Open-Meteo, scores every hour against the conditions that matter for cycling, and shows a single GO, MAYBE or NO-GO verdict plus the best window ahead — all in Amsterdam's local time (Europe/Amsterdam). You don't need to type the city; it's already loaded above.
How the verdict is scored
The score weighs rain, wind (a stiff headwind is the biggest thing that turns a fun ride into a grind), feels-like temperature and visibility. Anything 70+ is a GO, 45–69 a MAYBE, below 45 a NO-GO. Because gusts above about 50 km/h make a bike hard to control, they cap the verdict at MAYBE — and 70+ km/h at NO-GO — even on a warm, dry day.
