Nanchong's Climate
Nanchong lies along the Jialing River within the Sichuan Basin of southeastern China and has a humid subtropical climate marked by heavy cloud cover and little sunshine year-round. Summers (June–August) are hot and sticky, typically 28–35°C with showers and thunderstorms, while winters (December–February) stay mild and damp rather than truly cold, around 4–10°C, with thick fog and grey overcast skies. Spring and autumn are gentle transitional seasons with scattered drizzle. Rainfall concentrates in the summer months, and although winter is drier, the basin traps moisture that keeps humidity high.
