Paris Weather

Paris has a temperate maritime climate, with warm summers and cool winters.

In the summer months (June to August), temperatures typically range from around 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F), with occasional heat waves. This is a popular time to visit the city, and you can expect crowded tourist sites, long lines, and high prices.

In the winter months (December to February), temperatures typically range from around 5°C (41°F) to 10°C (50°F), with occasional cold snaps and rain or snow. This is a quieter time to visit the city, and you can often find better deals on hotels and tours.

Regardless of when you visit, it's always a good idea to bring appropriate clothing, such as a light jacket or sweater for the summer months, and a warm coat, hat, and gloves for the winter months. You should also be prepared for sudden changes in the weather, as Paris is known for its unpredictable showers and clouds.
