Climate Chart of Chengdu, China

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean temperature occurs in January, at 6.7 °C. At the other end of the range, July / August share the highest monthly mean, 26.4 °C. These are monthly averages rather than daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad temperature character of each month, not the full range visitors may experience during a day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean temperature is 17.4 °C. It is a summary of monthly averages, not a day-weighted annual average, and should not be read as a typical temperature for every month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in January, at 0.33 mm/day, making it a conditional option for visitors prioritising lower average rainfall. The highest monthly mean is in July, at 9.70 mm/day; visitors at that time should be prepared for rain. These are daily mean amounts, not monthly totals, and the lower figure does not guarantee dry days or indicate how often rain falls. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 3.00 mm/day. This summary does not show the timing or frequency of individual wet days.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration reaches its highest monthly value in July, at 8.53 hours/day, and its lowest in October, at 4.33 hours/day. Visitors planning outdoor sightseeing around sunshine duration can use these as broad monthly guides, but sunshine hours are not the same as day length and do not guarantee clear conditions. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine-duration means is 6.16 hours/day per day. It summarizes the calendar-month averages rather than specifying the sunshine a visitor should expect on a particular date.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in January, at 0.14 mm/day. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-snowfall means is 0.02 mm/day. These averages do not establish how many days have snow, snow depth or cover, or whether conditions are suitable for skiing.
