Shanghai's Climate

Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons and high humidity year-round, owing to its coastal setting at the mouth of the Yangtze. Winter (December to February) is cold and damp, occasionally biting but rarely snowy, while summer (June to August) is hot and sticky. Early summer brings the prolonged Meiyu (plum rains), and late summer into early autumn is when typhoons and tropical systems can make landfall.

Frequently asked questions

When is Shanghai's Meiyu rainy season?

The Meiyu, or plum rain, season usually runs from mid-June to early July, bringing persistent drizzle and very high humidity.

Does Shanghai get typhoons?

Does it snow in Shanghai?

Snow is rare and usually just a few light flurries in January or February; winters are mostly cold and damp, feeling raw because of sea winds.

When is the best time to visit Shanghai?

Autumn, from October to November, is ideal with dry, mild and sunny conditions; late spring in March and April is also pleasant.
