Wuhan Weather

Lying in the subtropical moist monsoon climatic zone, Wuhan has abundant rainfall and four clear seasons. Spring and autumn last almost 60 days for each season. During winter, temperatures can drop to -5oC but snowfall is uncommon. Summer is very hot and humid lasting for about 130 days with temperatures as high as 40oC (104oF). So Wuhan well deserves the reputation as one of China's three summer "furnaces", the other two cities are Chongqing and Nanjing.

Wuhan, abbreviated to "Han", the capital of Hubei Province, is the largest city in Central China, with a population of 7.3 million and an area of 8,467 square kilometers.

Wuhan Weather Tips

The best times to visit are probably spring (April to mid-June) and autumn (late September to mid-November). the cherry blossom are in full bloom in April and Wuhan is a famous place to enjoy this beautiful scenery.

The winter here is really cold even the temperature is not as low as those in the northern cities. The river winds and humidity will make you feel cold as ten degrees below zero. Unlike northern cities, most families and hotels in Wuhan do not have heaters. Nor a habit of nursing a fire do the local residents have. In this weather travelers can easily suffer from chilblains. So, remember to bring gloves, thick scarf and warm overcoat when traveling Wuhan in winter.

Sizzling heat waves in summer are forcing many residents to stay indoors. That is why there are so many good swimmers in rivers and lakes. Except summer 'furnaces', Wuhan has another title of "steam box". Choose bright color cotton clothes and caps in case of taking a long walk under the sun in summer.
