Paris in late August...temps?

[shauni27]

My husband and I are going to Paris August 23-September 5. I know it will be hot, but is hot 80 and sunny? Or 100 and sunny? Humid? Any ideas? Thank you!

I've been to France at the end of August and it was warm and sunny, but not super hot or humid from what I remember. I think it was in the 80s.

Thanks, I googled as well and it said Average was 75. That seems really enjoyable! I was preparing myself for some Washington DC - like heat and humidity.

It can get warmer in Paris, but this year has been a mild summer in Europe. Check the forecast the week before you go and pack accordingly.

Right now we can't even forecast for next week in this part of Europe no less for August. I'd wait until closer to the date and just check the weather. Paris & London weather has been crap all spring and summer (London more so)...you might end up with sun, heat or rain and cold.

Ditto pp. Summer has been late coming to these parts. I still wear a light jacket out in the evening in Paris. Blergh. And here I was concerned when we first moved in that we have no ceiling fans in our apartment.

Thank you, everyone! This is very helpful. I would rather it be a bit cool than 90 and humid!
