What's the weather like in Shanghai in winter? Is it that wet and cold?

Shanghai has a subtropical maritime monsoon climate. The main climatic characteristics are: warm in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in winter, moderate annual rainfall and relatively even seasonal distribution. Generally speaking, the climate is mild and humid, with four distinct seasons.

The highest temperature in Shanghai is in July and August. In recent years, the summer in Shanghai is getting hotter and hotter, and the number of high temperature days exceeding 35℃ is about 10 days. 1Late October to early February (usually during the Spring Festival) is the coldest time in winter. Although there are not many days of sudden cold (usually lasting three days), the wet cold in the south of the Yangtze River is too much for northern Renye Fang, and the biting north wind often blows. Don't wear some heavy warm clothes, gloves, scarves and hats should be fully armed. There are not many days of snow, sometimes it doesn't snow all the year round. March to May is the best tourist season in full bloom in spring. What needs special reminder is that the rainy season is from mid-June to early July, both sunny and rainy. The rainfall of more than 20 days accounts for about 1/4 of the whole year, so it is not suitable to travel during this period. From the end of August to the middle of September, typhoons are frequent, and there are often downpours. You must take a sun umbrella to Shanghai during these two periods. Fortunately, the climate is hot at this time, and sunny days can also be used as sun protection.
