How's the weather right now?

Hi, I%26#39;m arriving Paris on Saturday. Just curious about the weather.

|||

It%26#39;s low to mid 50s (F) and mild for the next week, as it%26#39;s been all winter (if you can call that winter). Really pleasant. Today was beautiful.

|||

Thanks! Sounds very nice for walking. Can%26#39;t wait!

|||

I will be in Paris in May and I thought it would be mild. However, I know someone who was in Paris last May and she had to buy clothes because it was so cold. What will an average May be like? Thank you.

brudda, I think all bets are off on predicting the weather. When I said we had no winter I meant we LITERALLY had NO winter this year. Paris weather has never been easy to plan for but this is a really unusual year. I don%26#39;t think the historical stats are of any use at this point.

Weatherbase does have the history though: www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3…

|||

The last 2 days bave been absolutely beautiful and mild. Many people already sitting outside in parks and cafes.

I think your best bet when packing for Paris is to bring a bit of everything...especially things you can layer. I%26#39;ve experienced such cold in July that I%26#39;ve had to buy a jacket, followed the next day by extreme heat. Weird....

This may explain why I have found such divergent weather forecasts on Accuweather, the BBC, and wunderground. What weather website do Parisians use? We%26#39;ll be there for two weeks beginning March 19, and one long-term forecast includes snow!!!!! We have no idea what to bring, given these conflicting forecasts.

My Farmers ALmanach guess would say that you could expect a hot, dry May, but that has nothing to do with typical. The crocus are in bloom and I can already smell summer in the air, which sounds silly, but I haven%26#39;t missed yet!
