Climate in Paris

Paris has an oceanic-to-continental transitional climate, with mild summers (average highs of 25 degrees Celsius) and mild winters (average lows of 3 degrees). Annual thermal range is moderate.

Annual rainfall is around 640 mm, spread throughout the year. Atlantic depressions are frequent but usually deliver gentle rain; summer thunderstorms are sharper, especially in July and August.

Heatwaves have grown more frequent: in 2003 and 2019 the city topped 42 degrees with serious health impacts. The urban heat island is pronounced compared with peripheral forests.

Best time to visit is spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October). Use the hourly forecast, heat alerts and rain probability before planning the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre or a walk along the Seine.

The climate of Paris, with thirty years of data

Paris is far enough inland that the Atlantic does not fully temper it: its summers are warmer and its winters somewhat colder than London’s, though the difference is a few degrees. Rain is spread fairly evenly through the year, with no clear dry season, and snow settles rarely but is remembered when it does.

The year at a glance

The warmest month is August, with a mean maximum of 24.4 °C, and the coldest January, with minima averaging 1.6 °C. About 752 mm fall a year, spread over 140 days of appreciable rain, peaking in December and at its lowest in September. There are 41 days of frost a year and 7 with the maximum above 30 °C.

The extremes of the series

Across these 30 years the highest temperature was 40.1 °C, on 25 July 2019, and the lowest -11.6 °C, on 1 January 1997. These are reanalysis values, not those of an observatory: they are useful for placing the magnitude, not as an official record.

Where these numbers come from

From ERA5-Land, the reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, downloaded from the Copernicus Climate Data Store under a CC-BY licence: hourly temperature and precipitation between 1995-01-01 and 2024-12-06, 30 complete years, in the 48.90°, 2.40° cell. It is a grid of about 9 km covering land only.

The Spanish cities on this site use AEMET’s official normals; there is no single equivalent for ten different countries, so the same global series is used for all of them. That has an advantage: the figures are comparable with one another, computed by the same method over the same period. And a limitation: a reanalysis cannot see the urban heat island, so in the centre of a large city the real minima are usually somewhat higher than those in the table.
