A climb forecast for the Eiffel Tower.
Visibility, wind, light — written up by a small team in Paris.
Fer & Vent is a hobbyist weather journal we started in 2019 after a few disappointing climbs in low-visibility days. We now publish a short daily note on how the view is likely to be from the summit of the Eiffel Tower, so visitors can decide when to go up.

What this site is for
Deciding when the view is worth the climb
We do not sell tickets, run tours, or claim to be an official source. We are a two-person team of amateur weather watchers who have gone up the Eiffel Tower in all four seasons and now write down what we have learned. If a trip to Paris is on your calendar and you have one or two possible days to go up, our daily note tells you which day is likely to be the clearer one.
01 · Daily forecast

Why Paris days differ so much
Haze, Sahara dust, winter inversions, summer humidity — what reduces the distance you can see from 276 metres.

03 · Light hours
Golden & blue hour, by month
The two short windows when the tower's iron is warm-lit from the side, and when the sky behind it turns an indigo blue.

Tickets
Where to buy, how to time it
Tickets for the Eiffel Tower are sold by Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE) on their official website, toureiffel.paris. We publish a short overview of the ticket types, which days to prefer based on our forecast, and how to time your climb around light hours. We do not resell tickets and do not take commission from any vendor.
About the forecast
How we build each day's note
We read public bulletins from Météo-France and the Paris–Montsouris station, cross-check summit wind with Eiffel Tower's own anemometer when the data is available, and track Saharan dust events through Copernicus. Our daily note is not a prediction — it is a short reading of the public bulletins by a non-professional team. On any given day the official forecast on Météo-France is the authority.
