Yangzhou's Climate
Yangzhou sits in Jiangsu province, China, on the north bank of the Yangtze where it meets the Grand Canal, giving it a humid subtropical monsoon climate with four clear seasons. Summers (June–August) are hot and humid, usually 30–35°C, and include the meiyu 'plum rains' of late June and early July, while winters (December–February) turn cold and dry, with many days below 5°C and occasional light frost. Spring is cool and damp with blossoms, and autumn (September–November) is dry, sunny and the most pleasant time of year. Typhoons and heavy rain can brush the region in late summer.
