Get the latest updates from the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremonies, where travel disruptions have not stopped huge crowds from forming along the iconic Seine.
The chance of rain during the Opening Ceremonies has increased, threatening to upend Paris’s audacious plans. The city looks to be near the borderline between some light to moderate showers to the north and west, and potential for a heavier downpour to the south and east. It’s too close to favor one over the other, but at the very least those in attendance should be prepared for some rain to fall at times between approximately 6 p.m. and midnight.
Organizers, athletes and spectators are closely watching the weather forecast ahead of the Paris Olympics as intense heat lurks in portions of southern and eastern Europe. There are no signs of exceptional heat or heavy rain around Paris over the next week, but temperatures could soar in southern France and briefly near 90 in Paris on Tuesday. The forecast beyond then is less certain.
