Set on the Yangtze River in central China, Wuhan has a humid subtropical climate with four sharply defined seasons and a wide temperature range. Summers (June–August) are notoriously hot and muggy, often topping 35°C, earning the city a place among China's "furnace" cities; the plum-rain season in late June and July brings prolonged downpours and flood risk. Winters (December–February) are cold and damp, dipping below freezing with occasional snow or sleet.
