While France is a great country to visit at any time of the year you may wish to visit the country when the weather’s not too hot or too cold. Let’s take a look at each month of the year and what the weather is likely to doing.
January
If you are headed to the south of France you will find that the weather is much warmer in January than it is in other parts of the country. While January is France’s coldest month the temperatures in the daytime are likely to be around 6 to 8 degrees Celsius.
Make sure you take your waterproofs with you when you’re in France in January as there may be a lot of rain. However, the beaches are likely to be quite empty which is never a bad thing.
February
Temperatures tend to rise a little in February which means they can be as much as 9 degrees Celsius. There’s also a bit more sunshine this month too. You will still need some winter clothes, however, as it can get quite cold in the evening and during the night. Be prepared for a few heavy downpours as there are often a few showers in February.
March
The month of March is when the weather changes quite noticeably. At this time of the year, the temperature can reach as high as 12 degrees Celsius and there will be approximately 5 hours of sunshine each day. However, you may want to pack some warmer clothes as there will still be some wind and rain around.
April
When April comes around you will see the beginning of Spring arrive in France. Temperatures can be as high as 15 degrees Celsius although there will still be a few windy and rainy days. Make sure you pack a few waterproofs just in case the weather takes a turn for the worse.
May
May is a far more pleasant month and you can expect to see temperatures reaching as high as 18 degrees Celsius. The wind tends to die down a little during the month of May and although it can get a little chilly from time to time you shouldn’t get too cold.
June
June brings with it temperatures that range anywhere between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius. You may even see up to 8 hours of sunshine each day. While you may need to wear a light jacket in the evening you’ll find that you can wear those summer clothes you love during the month of June.
July – August
Between July and August, you should see temperatures reaching as high as 24 degrees Celsius. There is a lot less rain during these months, but it can get a little cool during the evenings so you may need to bring warmer clothing.

September
In Early September you should see temperatures reaching 25 degrees Celsius, however, at the end of the month, they can be as low as 21 degrees. You may need to bring some warmer clothing with you as the weather starts to change.
