Yunhe Terrace Scenic Area belongs to subtropical monsoon climate zone, with humid temperature and distinct seasons. Due to the complex terrain and disparity in altitude, the vertical distribution of climate is obvious. According to the statistics of meteorological department for 20 years, the annual average temperature is 16.5℃, the extreme minimum temperature is -7℃, the average frost-free period is 227 days, and the rainfall is abundant. The annual precipitation is 1780~ 1900mm, mainly in May ~1October, during which typhoon landing will cause heavy rain and flash floods. There is plenty of sunshine, the average annual sunshine hours 1774.4 hours, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

In the scenic area, the stream is gurgling, the water system is developed, the water source is rich and the water quality is sweet, and the stream flows into Yongtou River from top to bottom. Clouds and terraces are at higher altitudes, and the water in the fields and valleys evaporates, which is affected by airflow to form a sea of clouds. Water is fully absorbed by trees, turns into fog and rain, stays in the alpine jungle, and the top of the mountain is often surrounded by white clouds, making it appear in the hierarchy. "Wonder of the sea of clouds, the world of the sea of clouds" is a major feature of the terraced fields of the sea of clouds. Because Yunhe is located in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, it is very suitable for producing green organic agricultural products.
