Nantong's Climate
Nantong sits in Jiangsu province on the north bank of the Yangtze mouth where it meets the East China Sea, in eastern China, with a humid subtropical monsoon climate and four clear seasons. Summers (June–September) are hot and humid, usually 31–35°C, muggy with frequent showers, thunderstorms and a late-summer typhoon risk, while the Meiyu (plum rains) around June and July bring damp, drizzly weather. Winters (December–February) are cool and relatively dry, typically 1–8°C, with cold north winds and the odd light snow. Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant, and its coastal setting keeps temperatures milder than inland.
