Hello. I owe many thanks to this forum for all of the help I have received. I know my trip will be wonderful I am starting to plan for packing and would like to know what the weather may be like. I know weather can change in an instant but a general guide would be good. I will be in London (May 25-30), Paris (May 30-June 3) and Rome (June 3-7). Any ideas? It will be my hubby and I. He tends to run hot and I tend to run cold. We will pack layers but are trying to pack smart and as light as possible.

I've used this site before to check historical weather information.

www.weatherunderground.com

Another good source for historical weather data is weatherbase.com

..right before you leave check weatherundrground for an up to date 10 day forecast.

You're right -- weather can change in an instant. Whatever else you pack, be sure to take a rain jacket and umbrella. Never leave the hotel without at least an umbrella, especially in London, even if there isn't a cloud in the sky. Been there, been wet!

My Yahoo offers current weather reports for selected cities. Select, London, Paris and Rome. You can then follow actual weather conditions on a day by day basis. Historical records are of little practical use except as maximum and minimum guides. Forecasters note that tomorrow's weather will usually be the same or similar to today's. Time is more important than the weather.

Perfect! Again, this forum is so helpful Thanks!!!
