weather

Ah, if only someone could accurately predict weather, travel plans would be so much simpler. For a guess, or prediction, that far ahead, I'd look at several weather websites to check average temperatures and rainfall for your time and destination.

There will be daylight followed by darkness.

It will be Celcius.

People get paid good money to make those guesses, and you are asking us to make them for free! :) Seriously, you will find the best answer to that question at the top of the General Europe page under FAQ's. Some of the weather sites online can also give you an advance forecast, but even they are not so reliable this far in advance. Just because Paris had great weather last year or terrible weather the year before doesn't mean you can expect the same this year.

The only good answer is expect it to be unpredictable (like most of Europe most of the year). And don't be surprised if it changes rather dramatically from one day to the next. It can be beautifully warm and sunny, or cold and rainy. Of course it can be like that in July too. When I go to Paris, I have plans for fair days and for rainy days, then take what comes.

SHOULD BE - Dry, sunny, some overcast days, maybe a light sprinkly, days are getting shorter, and could hot but more cool. Make you a deal. You tell me what the weather in Pinole in early Oct will be be.

Fantabulous.

ROd, I was there last March and it was sunny. If you look at the weather they had this March, its a 180 change. not the same month, but i would say i was lucky and i would plan on some not so nice CA weather. whats the old boyscout saying...... happy trails.

Try to find it out in general FAQ..It is not possible to have an accurate guess of weather.

Yes, as Linda notes, checking FAQs will identify a number of the "asked and answered" questions that pop up like the Wack-A-Mole game. In the case of probable climate, the Travel help General Europe FAQ weather has a link to a "wunderground.com" web site which seems as good as any climate web page. Its primary shortfall is that it seems to focus on tourist destinations and may not cover destinations in the bush. Checking Paris, France for the first half on Oct it reports: "Of 225 days between 1996 and 2013, Cloudy was the most frequent condition. Additionally, 74 days were recorded with precipitation.". And shows graphics for the historic frequent of cloudy, rainy, foggy etc days and the mean high and low temps and range of temps. One could also do Internet searches with location and key words such as "weather", "climate" etc. And search the country's Met site rather than depend on anecdotal responses. The French met site:
http://france.meteofrance.com/france/ Then check the climate tab. (You will have to use the Google Translate or sim. The French web site isn't advanced enough to include a English tab.)

That's like asking, "What will the weather in Pinole, Ca be like in October?".

Richard inquired about Pinole (CA) weather in October. Weather Channel historic data says: 72f/52f/64f Average high/low/mean temps 1.44 " Avg precip 100f/41f Record hi/low temps
http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/94564 Of course historical averages and extremes will be likely victims to global climate change as new weather extreme seem to be recorded every year.

The French web site isn't advanced enough to include a English tab. just wondering how many US based, say the one reporting weather for Medford, OR, USA, are advanced enough to include a French tab?

The US NOAA/NWS website doesn't include a french tab but Nigel could check Medford's weather in french b placing the NWS link: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?textField1=42.3265152&textField2=-122.87559490000001#.Uh_Ee9LBOiM into Google Translate: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=en&tl=fr&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforecast.weather.gov%2FMapClick.php%3FtextField1%3D42.3265152%26textField2%3D-122.87559490000001%23.Uh_Ee9LBOiM Nigel would find that tonight's weather in french is: Ce soir Partiellement nuageux, avec un faible autour de 58. Ouest vent de 5 to 9 mph se calme après minuit. Some national weather websites, such as Norge's Meteorologisk institutt http://http://met.no/ do have English tabs that are easy to locate: http://met.no/English/

Given that this is an English language biased discussion site, out of curiosity I searched in no speciic order national meteorology web sites with English tabs and found the following English friendly sites: Finland/Suomi: http://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/climate Norway/Norge: http://met.no/English/Climate_in_Norway/ Sweden/Sverige: http://www.smhi.se/en German/Deutsch: http://www.dwd.de/bvbw/appmanager/bvbw/dwdwwwDesktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=dwdwww_start&switchLang=en Swiss/Suisses/Schweizer/etc: http://www.meteoswiss.admin.ch/web/en/weather.html Spain/Espana: http://www.aemet.es/en/portada United Kingdom:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk Unfortunately while these portals may be in English, some countries save the best stuff for native speakers. In that case, you will have to resort to Google Translate, dictionary/phrase books and the like. The point is that in this modern world, self study is a lot easier for those of us who are monolingual.
