Chongqing Weather

Chongqing arguably has one of the most unpleasant climates in the country. Situated in the subtropical zone, it is blazing hot and very humid. Annual average temperature is around 19°C° (66.2°F). The average highest temperature is 27-38°C (80.6-100.4°F) in summer and on extreme days can reach 43°C (109.4°F). Hence, it has been labeled as one of China's "furnace cities".

Spring and winter are good seasons to visit Chongqing and the rainy autumn is best avoided. April is the best month as temperatures are still bearable and rainfall not especially heavy. If you wait until the following month or later still into the summer season, you really do need to be prepared for the heat and for the constant threat of precipitation.
