Paris Weather in June
Planning a trip to Paris in June? Here's what the weather is really like as the city heads into summer — and the one alert worth taking seriously.
June in Paris is warm, long, and lively. Highs sit in the low to upper 70s°F, daylight stretches well into the evening, and the city's parks, cafés, and terraces are at their peak. Rain averages 8–10 days, often arriving as convective thunderstorms rather than steady showers — the result of continental air heating up and rising.
The one alert worth knowing about: heat waves. June isn't the peak of summer, but Paris has seen heat waves push temperatures past 100°F (38°C+) in recent years, and the city's older buildings often don't have air conditioning. Meteorologist Ian Schwartz breaks down what to expect.
