Weather in Hangzhou
Hangzhou has a humid subtropical climate, characterised by its four distinctive seasons. The city also experiences two rainy seasons; the Plum Rain Season (late June to early July) and the heavy rainfall season which comes with potential typhoons (August to September).
Spring (March to May) is a lovely time to visit Hangzhou as it brings peach blossom to trees surrounding West Lake. Temperatures gradually increase from highs of 14ºC (57.2ºF) in March to highs of 26ºC (78.8ºF) in May.
Summer (June to August) weekends bring hordes of domestic tourists from places such as Shanghai and Beijing, and this often means hotel rooms can be hard to find, so booking ahead is advisable. The summer months can also be uncomfortably hot and with temperatures going over 33°C.
Autumn (September to November) especially October provides the best combination of mild temperatures and little rain. The average temperatures in October are about 18°C.
Winters (December to February) are fairly cold and the weather is made worse by the city’s high humidity. Don’t let that stop you as there are numerous sights to see like the plum blossom and snowy scenery in West Lake.
