In June, Yichang has broken free from the ups and downs in late spring and early summer and is dominated by summer heat. The average daily high temperature ranges from 23°C (73℉) to 36°C (97℉), while the average daily low hovers between 19°C (66℉)  and 26°C (79℉), steadily rising over time. The number of hot days has increased noticeably, with afternoon temperatures going beyond 30°C (86℉) becoming usual. Yichang weather in June experiences 5-8 days with super high temperature over 35 Degree Celsius (95℉). 

Due to high humidity, the sensitive temperature is generally 3°C (37℉) to 6°C (43℉) higher, easily exceeding 40 Degrees Celsius (104℉). The sensation of heat and humidity is so pronounced that even standing in the shade can leave you feeling clammy and sweltering. The stifling heat intensifies at night. While frequent rain may bring a cooling effect, it’s minimal with slight fall of 3 - 5°C (37 - 41℉), and short-lived under intense solar radiation.
  Average Precipitation: 153mm
 Humidity: 61 - 92%

Yichang enters its plum rain season in mid-June which is characterized by continuous rain. 10 - 20 rainy days are expected. Rainfall is frequent and persistent, sometimes lasting 5-7 consecutive days. Light rain always continues throughout the day, occasionally turning to moderate or heavy rain in the afternoon or evening. June also sees one or two brief bursts of heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds, which quickly change to a drizzle. Areas along the river, such as Yiling District, home to the Three Gorges Dam, experience slightly more rainfall. Sunny days are rare.

Yichang’s humidity in June is strongly correlated with rain. The humidity hovers above 80% on most days and goes beyond 90% in continuous rain, making clothes easily get moldy. Riverside areas (such as the Three Gorges Dam) experience humidity levels 5%-8% higher due to their proximity to the water. River breezes carry moisture from boat trips, quickly dampening hair and clothing.
  Sunrise time: 05:31 – 05:35
 Sunset time: 19:32 – 19:41

Yichang is stingy with sunshine in June. With a dozen days of rainy weather, Yichang’s daylight hours in June are only about 5 - 6 hours. Fog is common after or before rain, making it even more challenging for sightseeing.
 Absolutely not. High temperatures, high humidity, and rainy weather all contributed to a dissuading of tourists. The continuous rain and fog made it impossible for visitors to fully appreciate the dam. Overcast clouds casting a dark shadow over the river and mountains, June may be the worst month to tour the Dam.
  Clothes: June's high humidity creates a sticky feeling throughout the day, so outfit should be moisture-resistant and quick-drying. Quick-drying short-sleeved T-shirts is the best for tops. Bring a light, waterproof jacket to protect against persistent rain. Quick-drying trousers or athletic shorts are sufficient for bottoms.

 Shoes: The stone steps in the scenic area can be slippery in the rain, so choose waterproof, non-slip sneakers and avoid mesh shoes or sandals.

 Others: A quick-drying baseball cap protects you against drizzles and intermittent sunlight. If you plan to take a boat tour to the dams, bring a light scarf to protect your neck from the river breeze and moisture.
 1. Moisture barrier bags and dehumidifier bags are must for your luggage.
2. Mothballs are necessary for the resistance of mildew.
