Paris receives rain at anytime of the year (just like England!), so those visiting in spring should pack a rain coat! Springtime temperatures average at about 14°C, but they can reach lows of between 5°C and 10°C. Normally, spring is a pleasant time to visit the city, with frequent sunny days and the city’s gardens and parks beginning to come into bloom.
Summer/Autumn

While temperatures during the summer months are normally warm, the city does sometime experiences heat waves that can raise to uncomfortable levels near 40°C.! Unexpected rain showers occur in both these seasons; however, the city has plenty of places where you can run for cover and the rain does not typically last very long.
Winter

The temperature during the winter months doesn’t tend to drop below 1 °C, making this time of year perfectly nice, as long as you are well kitted out with some warm clothes. January and February are the coldest months; however, snowfall is very uncommon (does not always happen).
