Fujian Weather

As the region is located in the southeastern coast in China, Fujian has sub-tropical monsoon climate. In summer days, Fujian weather is very hot with rains brought by the monsoon from the sea. In winter, as the cold air is blocked by Mount Wuyi in the northwestern area, the region is warm but dry comparatively. The annual Fujian temperature is around 17~21℃ (63~70℉), and it is rich in rainfall except the winter. May to June are the plum rain months when the most rainfall occurs, and August to September are the typhoon season, which have the second most rainfall. There are many hills, so the vertical difference on climate is big.
 

April to November is the peak time for tours in Fujian. You can have fun on beaches in summer, and see the colorful autumn leaves on mountains in fall. Although Fujian China weather in the early spring and winter is not so cold, there are fewer landscapes worth seeing during the time.
 

  

The fluctuating temperature is the most noted feature of Fujian weather in spring. It also often rains lightly from March to April, during which spring chills may occur.
