Netherlands: Clothing for Late April Trip

(April 21-29) How probably is it that a light jacket will be enough?

I'm used to a range of temperatures...from close to 0 in winter to close to 100 (F) in summer. I fail to see how what I am used to is relevant. I want to know if a person will be comfortable with a light jacket or if it will be cool enough for something heaver.

What you are used to is very relvant. Different people will 'feel' the same temperature in different ways depending on the temperatures they are used to dealing with.

April is unreliable and unpredictable. If your light jacket is a rain- and windproof one (essential!!!!) and if you bring at least one warm sweater/fleece that can be worn underneath, you'll survive, I suppose.

It does matter what you are used to. At a temperature of 18°C, somebody from Northern Norway will probably run around in a T-Shirt while somebody from Brasil will want a winter coat.

If the weather follows normal patterns (which I acknowledge is highly unpredictable), you should be ok during the day without a jacket. Though it may get a little chilly toward the evenings--you might appreciate a light jacket or a raincoat. Probably not necessary to bring bulky winter coat or heavy wool coat lining.

I always take a set of 'Cuddl-duds' faux-silk long underwear. Very lightweight, keeps in bodyheat. Being from Florida, temp in the 40-50*F is cold to me. Also, a nice hat/cap helps a lot to retain heat.
