The best time to visit Shanghai is autumn. The temperature during this period
is mild and rain is less likely than in spring and summer.

Shanghai’s weather is moderate (annual average temperature is about 15 degrees
centigrade) and the seasons are not as distinct as in the North. Shanghai is characterized
by a warm spring, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter.

Shanghai receives abundant rainfall and the average annual precipitation is
over 1,000 cm. The “Plum Flower Rain” season (frequent light rain)
is from mid-June to early July with an average daily rainfall of 259 mm. During
July and September, strong storms with torrential rain become frequent. However,
it seldom snows in Shanghai.

Shanghai summers are hot and humid. July and August are Shanghai’s hottest months with
average highs of 27.4 degrees centigrade.

In winter, January is the coldest month, with a temperature average of 3 degrees
centigrade.

All in all, it is best to go prepared with light clothing in summer and warm, heavy
clothing in winter. Also, always prepare for rain by keeping an umbrella, but most hotels
can equip you with one if needed!
