Average weather and climate in China

China is a country with wide-ranging climatic conditions, so a decision about the best time to visit should be based on the regions you plan to tour and the kind of weather you enjoy.

During that period, temperatures are reasonable throughout China (about 10 till 22 degrees celcius, 50-72 degrees Fahrenheit) with a limited amount of rain. Spring roughly has the same average temperatures as autumn.

Summer (from June to the end of August) can be extremely hot with temperatures well above 25 degrees. Summer is also a rainy season in China. Winter can be incredibly cold especially in the north.
