The driest month is February with 46 mm of rainfall and 13 perfect sunny days. The wettest month is December with 75 mm of rain over 3 days. Once you've chosen the perfect month for your visit, why don't you check out the best things to do in Paris and start planning your holiday!
As you can see, Paris weather is unpredictable from one year to the next as well as on a daily basis so you need to be prepared for a range of possibilities. That's why planning your packing list to include layers to put on and take off is a good idea.
Paris has an average annual precipitation of 641 mm (25.2 in), and experiences light rainfall distributed evenly throughout the year. However the city is known for intermittent abrupt heavy showers.
The best times to visit Paris are the months that shoulder the summer season: April, early May, September, and early October. “The days are still warm and balmy but without the sweltering heat of peak summertime,” says Davidson of Red Savannah.
The low season is from January to March; if you're willing to put up with cold weather, you'll benefit from cheaper airline tickets and get to experience the beauty of Paris covered in snow. For a vintage approach to exploring the City of Love, attend the Antique Books Fair in February.
Serious crime can occur especially in large cities, including Paris. These include violent robberies, muggings and assaults, including sexual assault (see Safety - Crime). Crime such as theft, including passport theft, pickpocketing, bag snatching, burglaries and muggings are common, particularly in summer.
Paris may be beautiful in the rain but that doesn't mean you have to get wet. Luckily the city is very well equipped with hideouts and warm shelters for you to wait out any storms. Here are 12 of our favourite ways to make the most of your Paris rainy days.
Comfortable weatherproof footwear are necessary for all the walking around. A jacket and small umbrella are also good to bring. You'll probably have a jacket/coat with you from setting out on your journey, traveling to Paris anyway. Nothing more miserable than wet feet, bring waterproof shoes not sneakers.
Make sure you really like your raincoat because you are going to be wearing it a lot. Right now trenches are popular and for good reason. They work fall and spring, look great with skirts and slacks, and they keep you dry when Parisian skies open up. A raincoat with a zip in lining is the best bet.
Having lived in both cities, NYC has a more extreme climate than Paris. That is, much colder winters, hotter and more humid summers as well as a hurricane season unseen in Paris.
