Paris in February

February in Paris: average highs of 10°C, lows of 3°C and 6 hours of sunshine a day. A starting point for planning around the historical weather.

February in Paris, France, brings average daily highs of 10°C and overnight lows of 3°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Bring layers that work for a longer spell outside as well as a short walk. A warm extra layer gives you options when the day's weather feels cooler than the monthly average suggests.

In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 10 of 28 days on average, a daily chance of 37%. Give wet-weather alternatives a proper place in the itinerary. Arrange outdoor plans so you can move them between days, and pack a rain layer rather than relying on a completely dry run of weather.

The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 10 hours. Sunshine averages 6 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.

For a culture-focused visit, group the places you want to see into manageable areas, with time between stops. Check each venue's opening dates before fixing the order. If food is a reason for the trip, leave time around meals rather than filling every gap with another journey. Check the places you choose for current opening hours.

March has an average daily high of 13°C, 3°C higher than February. Its historical rain-day chance is 44%, compared with 37% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
