Climate chart - Zhanjiang
The climate of Zhanjiang is subtropical, with very mild winters and hot, humid and rainy summers. The rains are abundant from May to September.
The city is located in southern China, at 21 degrees north latitude, in the southwest of Guangdong province, in a bay on the South China Sea. We are in the northern part of the Leizhou (or Luichow) peninsula, which in the southern part is 20 km (12 mi) away from the island of Hainan.
Winter, from December to February, is very mild, however, the north-east monsoon brings cloudy days, during which there are some drizzles, or fog can form. Sometimes, cold and windy days can occur, with highs around 10 °C (50 °F) or even below. In January 2016, the temperature dropped to 3 °C (37 °F), with a maximum of 6 °C (43 °F).
Guangdong can be hit by typhoons, the tropical cyclones of Southeast Asia. Typically, typhoons pass in this area from June to early November, but they have sometimes affected the area outside of this period, as happened in April 2008 and in May 2006. The area most at risk is the coastal one, since it can receive the strongest winds, as well as storm surges.

Zhanjiang

Best Time



It's not easy to find the best time to visit Zhanjiang. Winter can be a good period, although the sky is often cloudy in the second part; moreover, it can be windy, and sometimes, though rarely, it can be a little cold. Spring is pleasantly warm, but it's also cloudy, and when the sun becomes a little more frequent, the rains begin as well, then, by May, it becomes muggy and there is some risk (though still low) of typhoons. In theory, autumn is the best season, but in October, a typhoon can still arrive, while in November, there can be the first cool and windy days, and sometimes, at the end of the month, it can already be a little cold. All in all, the best times are from mid-March to mid-April and from mid-October to late November.

What to pack



In winter: bring spring/autumn clothes, a sweatshirt or sweater, a jacket, a raincoat or umbrella, and a hat for colder days.
In summer: bring tropics-friendly, lightweight clothing, a light sweatshirt for air-conditioned places, and a light raincoat or umbrella.
