Weather in Shanghai
Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate influenced by the Asiatic monsoon winds. The city has four distinct seasons and experiences climatic extremes - bitter winters and hot and humid summers. Take an umbrella and waterproofs whenever you go - thanks to the region's location near the Yangtze River estuary, it rains for about one third of the year and has almost twice as much precipitation than London on the average.
Spring (March to May) sees temperatures climb from 15°C (59°F) to 24°C (75°F). This is the best time to visit the 16th-century Yu Yuan when the garden is dotted with blossoming flowers.
Summer (June to September) is long, hot and wet. In July and August, temperatures can rise up to 35°C (95°F). This a good time to hide inside the air-conditioned malls and shop till you drop.
Autumn (October to November) is often regarded as the best time to visit Shanghai. The weather is cool (14°C/57°F to 20°C/68°F) but dry. The city celebrates the National Day on October 1 and mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eight lunar month (in September or October).
Winter (December-February) is cold and damp, with biting winds from Siberia sending temperatures below freezing. But the city turns festive during Chinese New Year (in January or February).
