Traveler guide

Turn weather data into decisions

Built for decisions, not just numbers

Weather in China can change quickly across distance, season, and elevation. A mild morning in Shanghai can still turn into a rainy afternoon, while cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing often feel warmer than the air temperature suggests because of humidity. This page combines current conditions with a 7-day view so visitors can decide when to walk, use metro transfers, pack rain gear, or move outdoor plans to a better day.

Use the current panel first

Check the current temperature, apparent temperature, humidity, and wind before leaving a hotel, airport, or train station. The apparent temperature is useful when heat, humidity, or wind makes the day feel different from the headline temperature.

Compare the full week

The 7-day forecast shows high and low temperatures, rain probability, wind speed, and a plain English weather label. Use it to choose museum days, mountain trips, city walks, and laundry or packing windows.

Regional notes

Common weather patterns by area

North China

Beijing, Tianjin, and nearby cities often have hot summers, cold winters, and dry transitions in spring and autumn. Wind can matter as much as temperature, especially for long walks and cycling.

East coast

Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and coastal routes can feel humid, with frequent rain periods. Check both precipitation probability and wind when planning riverside or waterfront activities.

South China

Guangzhou and Shenzhen are usually warm and humid for much of the year. Sudden showers are common, so a low-temperature day can still feel sticky if humidity is high.

Southwest and central China

Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, and surrounding areas can have humid summers and cloudy stretches. Apparent temperature and rain probability are useful signals for comfort and timing.

Questions

Weather lookup FAQ

Can I search by pinyin or English city names?

Yes. Try names such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, or Chongqing. If a search has multiple matches, the page shows province, municipality, population, and timezone information to help you choose the right city.

Why do some days feel hotter or colder than the temperature?

Humidity and wind affect comfort. The current weather panel includes apparent temperature so you can compare the measured temperature with how the weather may feel outside.
