Paris

It is the capital and most populous city of France. Paris is the fifth-most populated city in the European Union and the 30th most densely populated city in the world in 2022.
CLIMAT
Paris has a typical Western European oceanic climate, which is affected by the North Atlantic Current. The overall climate throughout the year is mild and moderately wet. Summer days are usually warm and pleasant with average temperatures between 15 and 25 °C and a fair amount of sunshine. Each year, however, there are a few days when the temperature rises above 32 °C.
Spring and autumn have, on average, mild days and cool nights but are changing and unstable. Surprisingly warm or cool weather occurs frequently in both seasons.
In winter, sunshine is scarce; days are cool, and nights are cold but generally above freezing with low temperatures around 3 °C. Light night frosts are however quite common, but the temperature seldom dips below −5 °C. The city sometimes sees light snow or flurries with or without accumulation.
