Right now, weather in Paris?
I'm packing for our trip and I checked two weather websites. Wunderground posts the high for Wed and Thu as 71F & 72F. Accuweather posts it as 66F and 62F. So, Thurs thats a 10 degree difference.
Anyone over there now or has a website they have found to pretty reliable?
Thanks.

Yahoo weather has Paris as 74/62 Wed and 70/51 for Thursday..scattered showers on Wed and thunderstorms on Thursday. This is for Paris not CDG..they can be different. I like Yahoo weather and have started watching it for my trip on the 18th.
No different than our weather..not perfect, just gives you an idea of what to expect.
Have a good trip.........

Checking various weather sites, I have actually found the BBC weather site to be more accurate for French weather than the French one. But there is not all that much difference. On the other hand, the CNN site is often dead wrong. Today it is 30°C in Paris. The BBC site says that it will be 31° (sunny) on Tuesday.... and 21° (rain) on Wednesday!

I also like Yahoo (which I think uses weather.com) because I find it easy to use and I like the presentation. Wunderground seems a bit low in comparison to some other sites, but that is 3-4 days away, and weather prediction that far ahead can always vary somewhat in areas where it isn't that stable. I just view a couple and consider it will range between those. They may have different weather services predicting, that's all, and depending on how they do it, that variation doesn't surprise me. I would assume it will likely be between 62 and 72 on Thursday, which is a pretty reasonable assumption this far ahead in any case.

You cannot rely on the daily weather forecast on the TV once you arrive!
I use Accuweather for finalizing my packing, but still always plan for warmer or cooler - learned over trips wishing I had packed my sandals or extra polartec jacket or BOTH.

Weather forecasts on the web are highly variable. Even their reports of current conditions can be wide of the mark.
For example, I just checked the "current conditions" for Maidenhead on 4 different weather web sites. All of them say it's "clear" when in fact, it's been absolutely POURING with rain for the last 40 minutes!
