Jinan climate in August is characterized by heavy, frequent and intense rainfall which always comes together with thunderstorms and strong winds and easily drenches the streets. There are more than 10 rainy days, sometimes with 2 - 3 consecutive days of showers. Significant rainfall sometimes reaches half of the annual total, resulting in higher humidity on rainy days. On clear days, it’s pretty dry, unlike the continuous dampness in the rainy season of southern cities.

Rainfall in Jinan is mostly regional. Weather forecasts report rainy days if any of areas rain, so don’t let frequent rain deter you. The rain is usually intermittent and won’t disrupt your itinerary. If you encounter heavy rain, find shelter nearby and you can continue your journey soon after.
  Sunrise time: 05:17 – 05:41
 Sunset time: 18:41 – 19:18

Daytime is 13 - 14 hours long and nearly 8 sunshine hours are expected. Prolonged overcast and rainy weather is rare and showers don’t last long and cool the air down, so there is ample and comfortable time for sightseeing.
 It’s not the best month with finest weather like April but can be a good option. If you are not deterred by hot temperatures, the cool and gushing springs welcome you vibrantly. Although the beginning experiences the heat left over from the hottest July, the lower temperatures in late August make it not worth calling a summer month, so try to plan a trip at the end of August.
  Clothes: Prioritize lightweight and breathable attire. T-shirts and shorts work well for most days and a sun protection jacket is necessary.

 Shoes: Sandals and light sneakers are fitted.

 Others: Sun protection products. A foldable umbrella should be brought every day for sudden showers as the weather forecasts always lie to you. 
 

Baotu Spring has just welcomed its flooding period in August thanks to the abundant rainfall, so the spring mouths are gushing like boiling water. In summer, temperatures of the water remain around 18, you will have a great fun from immersing your foot into the cool pool. Surrounded by willows and trees, it’s also a lovely place to walk around. 
 

Watch Sunset and Night View at Daming Lake

After 5 PM, walk into the vast scenic area when it’s cooler. As a cultural symbol of Jinan, here you can appreciate typical Chinese garden aesthetics: willow branches droop into the lake, lotus leaves float on the lake surface, ducks and swans leisurely swim, and classic Chinese gardens and pavilions with red walls and green tiles stand in the lake, offering a beautiful view at every turn. As the sun sets, the orange-red sunset is reflected on the lake, creating a golden hour for photography. After 6:30 pm, the lights of Chaoran Tower illuminate the best night view in Jinan.
 The watercourses may release water after frequent intense rain, so the sightseeing boat may stop service.
