Climate Chart of Xiamen, China
Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023
For Xiamen, China, the climate data cover 2013–2023. Monthly mean temperatures run from January at 14.0 °C to July at 29.1 °C, giving a broad sense of the annual range without describing every day. The monthly rainfall and sunshine patterns also vary, so visitors weighing outdoor plans may want to consider those measures alongside temperature. These figures are averages, not guarantees of the conditions on a particular visit.
Climate overview
Temperature
January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, at 14.0 °C, while July has the highest, at 29.1 °C. These are monthly averages rather than daytime maximums, so they indicate the broad temperature profile, not the full range visitors may experience within a day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 22.0 °C. It provides a compact summary, but does not weight months by their number of days or imply that conditions remain near this figure throughout the year.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest in June, at 7.58 mm/day. For plans then, it is sensible to allow for possible rain and keep practical wet-weather options in mind; this average does not say how often rain falls or guarantee a wet day. The lowest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in October, at 1.27 mm/day, which may suit visitors prioritising a lower average rainfall. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 3.60 mm/day; these daily averages are not monthly totals and cannot establish the weather on specific dates.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine reaches its monthly high in July, at 10.59 hours/day, and its low in February, at 7.50 hours/day. These figures can help with daylight outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not promise clear skies for an individual day. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily sunshine durations is 8.64 hours/day. It summarises the calendar-month averages rather than providing a forecast or a measure of sunshine on every day.
Best Travel Time Guide for Xiamen, China: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
Visitors prioritising cooler monthly mean conditions may focus on January, when the monthly mean is 14.0 °C; this is an average, not a guarantee of cool weather on every day. For lower average rainfall, October is a conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 1.27 mm/day, but that figure does not quantify rain frequency or rule out wet weather. Rain preparation is especially relevant for plans in June, the month with the highest mean daily rainfall at 7.58 mm/day. Consider flexible outdoor plans or wet-weather alternatives rather than treating the average as a prediction for your travel dates.
For outdoor sightseeing that benefits from more average daily sunshine, July records the highest mean at 10.59 hours/day; February records the lowest, at 7.50 hours/day. Sunshine duration can inform planning, but it is not day length and cannot promise clear conditions. These separate temperature, rainfall and sunshine criteria point to different considerations, not a single universally best time to visit.
