🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER FORECAST & NUANCES: May in Paris is a flirtatious season. Expect mild days (+16°C to +21°C) perfect for walking, but keep a compact umbrella or a stylish raincoat handy for sudden "May showers." Clothing: Layers are your best friend. A light scarf and a waterproof jacket will save the day. Footwear: You will be walking on historic cobblestones; choose comfort over high fashion. Plan B: If it pours, head to the covered passages (Passage des Panoramas) or the free permanent collections of the Petit Palais.
