Weather in Paris
 
I will be in Paris the first week of November, what will the weather be like?

7,5 Celsius on Monday at 13 45.

Do you know about this site? No weather forecasts, but weather data from many years as well as current conditions: www.weatherbase.com

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Unpredictable IME - could be cool and sunny but more likely wet and cool and dark - very changeable however.

Christina Sep 26th, 2015 02:01 PM

You can't forecast that far accurately ahead, anyway, I think the OP was asking for typical weather at that time. Historical weather sites will tell you.

Here's a forecast just based on historical averages -- about 50F daytime, down to 45ish at night. Good chance of rain.

If only there were some way to search the internet for climate charts.

I wasn't asking for a predicted weather report, I was wondering if anyone might have been in Paris at that time of year so I could get an idea of what to pack. I am new to this site and look forward to getting help with planning my trip. Thanks.

The initial question was not phrased to ask for suggestions of what to pack and thus the responses because no one can really predict weather this far in advance. I go to Paris in Novembers. Weather has generally been as described by Christina. One year, it rained 5 of the 7 days that I was there and there it has rained at least once during every stay. Bring a raincoat and waterproof boots and lightweight layers. I wear a hooded, lined raincoat and do not bother with an umbrella.

Honestly -- you could have anything except hot. You need to think in terms of 'layers'. Could be nice, could be cold, could be rainy, could be windy, could be any of the above. So don't pack for specific weather - pack things you can layer and unlayer as conditions change.

Always windy in November, sometimes it rains, will be chilly but not freezing, definitely not hot. Gets dark early and everything will feel worse at night. Indoors anywhere will probably be overheated. You will NOT need boots, rain boots or a heavy coat.

Last time I was there the SECOND week in November, I wore a black blazer and various polo shirts during the day and Oxford cloth shirts under the blazer for dinner and concerts. Dark cotton blend trousers. It didn't rain, ever. I had a goretex parka/anorak but didn't need it.

My wife wore similar clothes but added a scarf most days (hey, it's Paris) and had gloves for night.

That probably won't help you since the weather is unpredictable. We have had showers on some other late October/early November trios, but it is a good time to go.

I have been in Paris the last 10 years in nov.
totally inpredictible. Check a few days before travel

But expect rain cold and wind.

nytraveler Sep 27th, 2015 09:42 AM

Have been twice in Nov and never had cold (temps in the 30s or lower) but it is usually chilly and we have had a fair amount of rain.

I had a leather jacket that was plenty warm even at night and some long-sleeve tops and sweaters to layer or not (without the jacket if the day is warmer). Definitely need waterproofed walking shoes or booties (NOT rain boots), and a sturdy folding umbrella.

Gretchen Sep 27th, 2015 12:33 PM

We were there for a week and had sunny days EVERY day and one evening of rain.
DDIL bought a ski jacket at Richard Lenoir market because she was cold.

nytraveler Sep 27th, 2015 05:13 PM

Everyone needs to judge the cold based on their likes/dislikes and what they are used to. (I don;t wear a winter coat until it gets into the lower 30s.)

We had a niece from FL visit and she kept asking us to turn the heat up when the temp got down to 70 - when everyone else was walking around in tee shirts. She couldn't believe there is no heat available then.
