Packing for the weather

It's time to start thinking long and hard about the clothes you're bringing with you, not that some of you haven't been doing that for months.

One great tool as you decide what to bring with you and what to leave at home is the 10 day forecast at weather.com.

If you've never done this, just go to the site, type Paris, France into the search bar towards the top of the screen and then click on the 10-Day option. Or you can just click here.

As I write this, the 10 day forecast goes up to June 9th, the day before we leave. For the record the forecast is for a high of 68, a low of 54 and 20% chance of rain. That translates in metric units (which is what most of the rest of the world uses, and the only temperature units you'll see while we're over there) to a high of 20 and a low of 12. Just for reference 10C=50F, 20C=68F and 30C=86F. I'll keep you posted on the forecast as the days draw nearer, but count on the highs running between the upper 60s and upper 70s with cool nights
