What is the climate of Paris like through the year?
Paris has four distinct seasons. Summers are warm, winters are chilly, and rainfall is spread fairly evenly throughout the year. The city sees around 1,600 hours of sunshine annually and receives about 640mm of rain.
Spring (March to May)
Spring is mild and increasingly pleasant. March averages 6–12°C, rising to 9–16°C in April and 13–20°C in May. Rainfall remains moderate, and the city’s gardens begin to bloom. Pack layers and a raincoat.
Summer (June to August)
Summers are warm but rarely scorching. Highs in July and August reach 24–25°C, with occasional heatwaves pushing above 30°C. Sunshine peaks at around 8 hours per day, and rain is less frequent but can occur in heavy showers. Light clothing is fine, but bring a sweater for cooler evenings.
Autumn (September to November)
September stays pleasant at 14–21°C. October cools to 9–16°C, and November sees temperatures drop to 4–10°C. Rain increases through autumn, especially in November. A waterproof jacket and warm layers are essential.
Winter (December to February)
Winters are cold but not severe. Daytime highs in January average 6–7°C, with overnight lows around 2–3°C. Snow is rare but possible. Pack a warm coat, hat, gloves and a scarf. The city is less crowded, making it a good time for sightseeing if you don’t mind the chill.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
The most popular period is late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October), when temperatures are mild, rainfall is lower, and the city is at its greenest. July and August are peak tourist months with higher prices and queues, but the weather is warmest. If you prefer fewer crowds and lower costs, consider a winter visit or a short break in March or November.
What should I pack for a trip to Paris?
Layers are the key. For summer: light tops, shorts or skirts, a light jacket for evenings, and comfortable walking shoes. For spring and autumn: jeans, long sleeves, a waterproof jacket, and an umbrella. For winter: thermals, a warm coat, woolly hat, gloves, and sturdy boots. A small backpack will help you carry extra layers or a raincoat when exploring.
How much rain does Paris get?
Rainfall is spread across the year, with slightly wetter months in November and December (around 60mm each). The driest months are February and July, each averaging about 40mm. Showers can be sudden, so it is always worth checking the live forecast above before heading out.
