Hangzhou Weather in August

Hangzhou weather is still very hot in August, with an average high temperature of 32°C (90°F). The highest temperature can reach 37-38 °C (98-100 °F) on a bright sunny afternoon. There are often temporary windy rains during late August influenced by typhoons, and the temperature may drop slightly. However, it will be soon hot again when the weather clears up. Thanks to the perfect vegetation coverage in the city with willows and other trees providing shade at most scenic spots, tourists will be rarely exposed to the sun.

Hangzhou has fewer tourists in August because of the hot weather. Hotels usually offer deals at this time, so the travel cost is more affordable than in the peak tourist season.
