France’s climate is classified as Marine West Coast, also known as oceanic climate, which means that temperatures are moderate with no extremes in temperature or rainfall.

However, these averages can be misleading because the climate in France can vary a lot by region.

For example, the southern part of France along the Mediterranean sea is much hotter than the wetter northern areas near the English Channel. The weather also changes depending on the season and month.

The weather in France in June tends to be relatively warm and sunny, so remember to pack your sunscreen. But just because June is usually sunny and warm doesn’t mean it won’t rain.

Although the month of May tends to receive the most rainfall in France, sometimes rainy days carry over into June.

For example, the weather in Paris in June has an average of 8 to 14.7 rainy days, which I learned the hard way when I expected nothing but clear blue skies and sunshine.

FUN FACT ABOUT PARIS WEATHER IN JUNE: Paris has some of the longest days of the year during June due to its location in the northern hemisphere.
