Is it hot in the end of july !!!! Do i need an A C. And how is the weather now ..

What could the weather in late May possibly have to do with the weather in July?
Coming from the Arabian Peninsula, on the banks of the Persian Gulf, Paris in July should seem like Finland in winter. But Paris can get very warm in July and extended heat waves (well perhaps not to you) in the high-80s and 90%26#39;s, of a few days are not uncommon at this time of year.

I am Packing my bus. bag coming to paris so i wanted to know what to take with me. Anyway, thats not big issue i have checked the weather already.
End of july is our family tripe to paris and i have founded an apartment with no A/C. Thats why, i was wondering is it a must to have it.

Go to this site and you will get an idea of %26quot;normal%26quot; temps for every month, along with a record of the historic extremes.
www.weatherbase.com
It can get seriously hot at the end of July, but many (most?) Parisians survive without AC. (Most of the time - the terrible canicule of recent memory being an exception...)
It is currently 30C (86F) in Paris, which is pretty warm, and exceptionally so for this time of year. A harbinger of things to come? Who knows, but a weather pattern _can_ set up in the N. Atlantic early in the summer which results in fiercely hot, dry weather for several months. With luck this year will not be one of those...
|||
Is weather.com or wunderground.com better at predicting Paris weather? I am interested in next week and they seem to differ in terms of rain/sun and temperature.
|||
Just got back. I carefully checked out weather.com, weatherunderground.com and several other weather sites - no two sites agreed with one another and, as it turned out, none was accurate. The only thing they all agreed on was that there would be at least some rain (there was, but not much) and the temp wouldn%26#39;t exceed the low 70s - it actually got up to the low 90s.
Best to pack for layering so you can roll with whatever temps you may encounter... I took only one carry-on bag for 10 days and managed to have adequate clothing for the warmest and coldest days (2 tank tops, 1 long-sleeve T-shirt, 2 long-sleeve blouses, 1 cardigan, 1 rain jacket, 2 prs slacks and one each short and long skirts - all black except the blouses).
|||
While in Paris, where to obtain the morning Paris weather forecast in English for that day ?
|||
If you stay in hotel with a TV, you can watch Tele Matin, a morning TV show with news and weather forecast. They give the weather just before 8 AM. You should understand some of it.
At least, you%26#39;ll understand the sun, the rain drops, etc. ;)
You can also go into a cafe and have a look into one of the daily papers such as Le Figaro.
Some hotels have the forecast (from the www) at the reception desk.
Some will also have daily papers available in the lobby for their guests.

Great, thanks.

Two observations:
First, weather - i check 4 different sites when I want to know the weather and, for Paris, only one is correct _most_ of the time:
--Wanadoo: www.wanadoo.fr/bin/frame2.cgi…
The rest (in order of accuracy) are:
--BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=0040
--Wunderground: wunderground.com/global/stations/07157.html
--CNN: weather.cnn.com/weather/forecast.jsp…
Second, Packing - Much2Learn has MuchToTeach. My wife and I travel for weeks at a time living out of a single, small rolling suitcase. We have concluded that traveling with specialized clothing %26quot;in case we need it%26quot; is more expensive than buying/renting what you need when you need it.
%26quot;Expensive%26quot; can be defined as what carrying all that luggage costs you in lost opportunity and agility. The extra-luggage fees in cabs aren%26#39;t what I mean. It%26#39;s the ability to leave a hotel and not have a mountain of bags to manage (negotiate with the irate taxi driver, have to post a %26quot;guard%26quot; by the curb waiting for a taxi, etc).
Walk out of the hotel. Have a coffee on the way. Arrive at the station. Get on the train. Simple. Travel light and you%26#39;re agile.
Our best trips are the ones where we got to our initial destination and then completely changed our mind about the itinery. Traveling light allows you to just go to the ticket window and buy that ticket to Gibralter when you thought you would only see Barcelona.
I think people too often plan important aspects of their $4000 vacation around the limitations of their $40 suitcase: Get a rolling suitcase with wide wheels (wheels at least 10 inches apart to traverse cobblestones) and then concentrate on basic necessities to fill it.
Baggage is a ball-and-chain when you travel. Less is more.
