In spite of the cold winter in other places, here you can still wear your sandals and T-shirt, roaming the seaside under the enjoyable sunshine.

URGENT!!
I'm still struggling whether to goto Sanya this weekend (Oct 23-26) with my 11 months old boy. The weather forecast said shower, cloudy and strong wind. Bad combination to goto beach or swimming for baby, right?

Ms.Jane replied:
Yes, please don't take the baby to the beach in bad days. Well, I think your hotel should be equipped with good swimming pool~

Mr.Jack replied:
No, not much rainy. If it rains, it will last only for a few hours. Typhoon might happen but there is not much possibility. Take a long-sleeve shirt with you to block the sunshine or occassional cool air.

I would like to go to Sanya from August 10 to August 15.
Does it rain all the time? How about the thyphoons? are they dangerous?
Aug. 4,2009 01:54
Mr.Jack replied:
Not rany all the time. Most are thundershower which will not last too long. It is the typhoon season but seldom happens. So, it is safe. The problem is herhas the temperature. It is summer and the temperature is about 25-33C, humid and hot, but breeze from the sea will release the hot feeling.
