Guangzhou Weather in June

 Season: Summer 
The weather of Guangzhou in June is quite hot. June is also a peak rain season, with heavy downpours and frequent showers. It makes the air humid and intensifies the hot feelings. Visitors would feel uncomfortably sticky when staying outside for a long time. However, UV rays should not be ignored, which can be very high during sunny moments. June is a shoulder travel season, except during Dragon Boat Festival and weekends. 
 Guangzhou’s climate in June is hot and muggy. On the one hand, the temperature is quite high, with daytime highs ranging from 28 to 35 degrees Celsius (82-95 Fahrenheit). In extreme cases, the highest temperature can reach 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). Besides, the city tends to experience continuous intense heat this month, usually lasting for 3-5 days. In rare cases, if cold air strikes, the temperature may drop to 24°C (75°F) during daytime hours, bringing some soothing coolness. 

On the other hand, June is one of the most humid months, with an average humidity level of 84%. The humid air can make perceived temperature a bit higher than the actual temperature. So, whether it is rainy or sunny, visitors may feel quite muggy and sticky after walking outside for a while. Outdoor exploration for all day long is not a good experience. 

Even after sunset, the weather usually won’t cool down a lot. The nighttime lows hover between 23 and 28°C (73-82°F).

Guangzhou Travel on Rainy Days

June is one of the rainiest months in Guangzhou, with an average precipitation of 276 mm from 18 rainy days. Usually from May 21 to June 20, it is the peak rainy season of Guangzhou. As it is around the Dragon Boat Festival, the rain is called Dragon Boat Rain, characterized by long duration and large amount. During the heaviest moment, it’s like the water is pouring down. But don’t worry. It generally doesn’t rain all day long, and it usually occurs late at night or in the early morning, so it won’t ruin your whole day. 

Despite the high season, the likelihood of heavy rain is low. However, showers are still common. They usually last less than an hour. After the sky clears up, it looks even more beautiful. 
 Sunrise Time: 5:40-5:44 
Sunset Time: 19:08-19:16
Daylight Hours: 13H27M-13H32M

Although there are frequent rainy or overcast days in June, thanks to the long daytime periods, the sightseeing time available is still enough. Just have a plan B for the rainy periods. 

In terms of sunshine hours, there are only 110 hours in total this month, averaging 3-4 hours per day. This doesn’t mean visitors can skip the sun-protective measures, as the highest UV index can reach 11. Even on rainy days, clouds can only block a limited amount of UV rays. So it’s important to use sunscreen if you are spending a long time outdoors.

  Upper clothing: You are advised to wear breathable T-shirts, cotton-linen shirts, or quick-dry shirts. To deal with the intense sunshine, it’s best to pack a light sun-protective jacket, which is also necessary in the mall and metro with strong air-conditioning. 

 Bottom clothing: Shorts and light summer pants are suitable for most activities. Girls can also choose beautiful skirts or dresses to take impressive photos. Avoid jeans or other thick pants.  

 Footwear: Considering frequent rainy days and heavy precipitation, there might be many puddles along the way. So sandals and flip-flops are highly recommended. Plus, it’s best to choose those with non-slip soles. 

 Accessories: 
1. It rains almost every day this month, so it’s necessary to carry an umbrella or a raincoat with you whenever you go out. 
2. To cope with strong UV rays, don’t forget to pack sunscreen and a sun hat
3. It’s essential to pack insect repellent, as hot and humid environments are prone to breeding mosquitoes. 
4. A portable fan can bring you a breath of cool air while you are waiting in line. 1. Considering the hot and rainy climate in June, Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park is ideal for visitors. When the weather is hot and sunny, there is plenty of shade at the Zoo, so you won’t be exposed to the sun greatly. If you can’t stand the heat and humidity, most attractions are followed by shops with strong air-conditioning where you can cool off and take a break. There are even more benefits to visiting on a rainy day. On the one hand, rainy days, especially on weekdays, can make the number of visitors drop significantly, creating a much more comfortable travel experience. On the other hand, animals tend to be more active on rainy days. If you encounter a sudden shower, you can head to the indoor exhibits to continue exploring, and by the time you finish, the rain usually will have stopped. 

2. If you are not into animals or want to explore cultural elements of Guangzhou, Cantonese Opera Art Museum and the Museum of Bruce Lee's Ancestral Home are highy recommended. They are both indoor attractions, which are completely unaffected by weather conditions. 

3. Compared to the peak travel season of July and August, June is much quieter, as most schools haven’t been out. But it’s worth noting that the Dragon Boat Festival Holiday, falling on June 9, 2027, can boost tourism. For a better travel experience, you are advised to avoid visiting Guangzhou during this holiday or on weekends.
