The climate of Hangzhou (China)
Hangzhou is situated in the delta of the Yangtze River. It is said to
be one of the most beautiful cities in China. Famous for its
historical buildings and the beautiful scenery in and around the city.
The most important attraction is West Lake. Many beautiful temples and
buildings can be found on the banks of this lake. The beautiful hills
and forests surrounding the lake make for a nice setting for these
buildings. Hangzhou has a warm maritime climate characterized by few
differences in temperatures between summer and winter. The temperature
of the water in the vicinity of the city doesn’t change rapidly which
influences the temperature of the air. The monsoon is during the
summer. There is a risk of tropical storms at the end of summer and
during autumn. However, Hangzhou rarely gets hit by a tropical storm,
it only suffers from indirect consequences.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
