China
As we approach the end of July, Shanghai is set for a mix of weather conditions that should interest both locals and visitors. From light rain showers to sunny skies, let’s unpack what you can expect over the next few days.
The day will start off with a light rain shower, and you can expect temperatures ranging from a mild 23°C (74°F) in the early morning to a peak of 33°C (91°F) later in the day. The average temperature will hover around 28°C (82°F), creating a warm, humid atmosphere.
Wind conditions will be mainly moderate, with speeds reaching up to 26 km/h (16 mph). Visibility will remain decent at around 10 km (6 miles), but the high humidity, clocking in at 95% early in the day, might make it feel a bit more uncomfortable. Rain is nearly guaranteed, with a 100% chance during the morning and early afternoon hours. Expect approximately 1.3 mm of rainfall as we transition into the evening.
Moving into Friday, we can look forward to clearer skies in the morning, perfect for those willing to explore the beautiful streets of Shanghai or enjoy a warm cup of coffee at a cozy café. With a maximum temperature projected to be 34°C (93°F) and a minimum of 26°C (79°F), the weather is expected to be significantly sunnier compared to Thursday.
The sunshine will prevail for much of the day, offering around 12.8 hours of sun. However, as the day progresses, moisture levels will rise again, with a chance of thundery showers in the evening. Humidity will fluctuate around 61% to 72% during the day, making it feel warmer, especially with heat index values soaring to 42°C (107°F). Don’t forget your sunscreen, as the UV index will reach as high as 11, signaling a very high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
Looking ahead to Saturday, we’ll see temperatures similar to Friday, with a high of 34°C (93°F) and a low of 27°C (80°F). The day will start off partly cloudy, but expect rain showers to develop later in the afternoon. The opportunity for rain stands at 100% with potential rainfall around 2.8 mm in the evening, so be prepared if you’re out and about.
Winds will remain light, and visibility will be fair at 10 km (6 miles) during the day, although conditions may worsen slightly during rainier spells. The humidity will be notably higher in the morning, leading to an elevated heat index that could reach 39°C (102°F).
For anyone experiencing the summer in Shanghai, it's beneficial to stay hydrated and seek shade whenever possible. With such variability in weather, packing an umbrella might also be wise.
