Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023
For Foshan, China, the climate data cover 2013–2023. Monthly mean temperatures span from January at 15.0 °C to July at 29.0 °C, giving a broad sense of how the year's averages vary.

These monthly averages describe typical conditions at a broad scale, not the weather on any particular day.
Climate overview
Temperature
The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January at 15.0 °C and reaches its high in July at 29.0 °C. These figures are monthly averages, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they are useful for understanding the overall temperature pattern rather than predicting how warm an afternoon will feel. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 22.9 °C. It provides a compact summary of the monthly averages, but is not a day-weighted annual average and does not show the range of temperatures visitors might encounter within a month.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is lowest in December at 1.47 mm/day; visitors prioritising lower average rainfall could consider that month as a conditional option. The highest monthly mean is in August at 11.60 mm/day, making rain preparation especially relevant for plans then. These are daily means rather than monthly totals, and they do not indicate how often rain falls or guarantee dry days. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall means is 5.62 mm/day. It summarises the calendar-month averages, but cannot describe the timing or intensity of individual rain events.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration reaches its highest monthly level in July at 9.82 hours/day, while the lowest is in March at 5.49 hours/day. These averages can help with planning outdoor time, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine averages is 7.52 hours/day per day. Treat it as a broad summary rather than a promise of consistent sunshine during a visit.
Best Travel Time Guide for Foshan, China: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant option: its monthly mean temperature is 15.0 °C. This can guide broad seasonal packing, but it is not a daytime high or a forecast for the dates of your trip. If lower average rainfall is the priority, consider December, when mean daily rainfall is 1.47 mm/day; bring rain preparation for August, whose mean daily rainfall is 11.60 mm/day. The figures do not quantify rain frequency, so the lower average should not be read as a guarantee of dry weather.
For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest in July at 9.82 hours/day and lowest in March at 5.49 hours/day. These separate criteria may point to different choices; the averages help with planning but neither measure nor promise the conditions on an individual day.
