Paris in April

Parks such as the Tuileries and Luxembourg fill with blossoms and café terraces get busy again. Easter lands in late March or April, and that week brings crowds. Sunny spells turn into quick showers, so keep a thin rain jacket in your bag.

April was mild: 16°C by day, 8°C at night, the kind of range where you stop checking the thermometer. Out of 30 days, about 8 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. The average is 8, but individual years ran from 1 (2007) to 18 (2016).

Daylight lasted 12.9 to 14.5 hours a day, so evenings stayed bright. Nights fell below 5°C on 6 days on average. April 2007 averaged 21.3°C by day, 4.9°C above the 20-year mean. The coldest night came in 2021, at −0.9°C.
