How’s The Weather in Paris During Summer?
During summer, the days in France are much longer than in the US. You can expect 16 hours of daylight from as early as 5:30 am and the sun going down as late as 10 pm.
Heat Waves
The past few years have proven that heat waves in France are no joke. The heat can be pretty strong with temperatures reaching 42 degrees Celsius, especially in a city like Paris.
Unpredictable Weather
Summer in Paris isn’t always warm and sunny like you would expect it to be.
If temperatures do get high during the hot season, they can also suddenly drop low. This is where layers come in.
Always be ready for rainy days as well, even though they are rare, it’s always best to bring an umbrella or a rain jacket.
Forecast Apps
It’s always best to plan ahead and check the weather forecast the day before or even the same morning, as weather can change unpredictably. The main forecast website in France is MétéoFrance, but it doesn’t have a working English version yet, so if you don’t speak French, go for your phone app or AccuWeather.
