Bordering the East China Sea, Fuzhou enjoys a typical subtropical marine climate, characterized by mild temperatures. The average annual temperature is 19.6 degrees C and annual rainfall is 1,325mm. With no bitter cold winters or sweltering summers, there is no hard time to visit this southern city, but to avoid the occasional hot wave brought by the Pacific current, you are advised to visit Fuzhou in spring, autumn and winter. Haowever June, July and August are the typhoon period, so it is advisable to steer clear.

There is generally little frost in winter, let alone snow. In spring a stretch of rainy days is expected in March and April. When you come during this period, do not forget to take an umbrella with you.
