WHEN TO VISIT PARIS / CLIMATE OF PARIS
The climate of Paris is quite unusual. The winter season consists of two phases: a milder, rainy period and a colder, snowy one. Although cold winds often blow in winter, temperatures rarely drop below zero.
In summer, the weather can be quite unpredictable. Hot and sunny days can quickly turn rainy and windy. So don’t forget your umbrella!
