Jinan steps into its major flood period in July. The city has the most concentrated rainfall with 8 - 12 rainy days. The rainfall is short yet intense, often accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. The groundwater level rises in July, with the Baotu Spring reaching a water level of 28 meters. Although it’s not yet the peak autumn water season for viewing, the mouths of spring are churning more vigorously than during the dry season. However, heavy rainfall may lead to road flooding and even urban inland inundation due to Jinan’s basin-like topography, resulting in traffic congestion.

Although it’s the rainy season, and the numbers of humidity may be high on rainy days, you won’t feel sticky and damp as it suddenly goes down once the sky is clear, and it’s hot and dry on sunny days without a breath of wind.
  Sunrise time: 04:56 – 05:17
 Sunset time: 19:19 – 19:34

Daytime lasts for about 14 hours. Even during the rainy season, Jinan still enjoys nearly 7 hours of sunshine per day since the rainfall is short and the weather clears up quickly. Continuous rainy days are rare. While short rainfall is off-putting, it won’t ruin your schedule, instead, the air cools down after rain, which is an advantage for outdoor sightseeing.
 Definitely no. As the middle of both summer and rainy season, visiting Jinan in such a hot and muggy month can be torture. Since the downtown attractions are close to each other, walking is needed as you can’t hail a car for a very short distance, then there is the challenge: a few steps can make you wet with sweat. It’s hard for you to step out the air-conditioned rooms, let alone go sightseeing and wandering around the vast scenic areas like Daming Lake.
  Clothes: Just pack your coolest clothes.

 Shoes: sandals and flip-flops for water play

 Others: Bring all kinds of sun protection you own like sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, sun hats and sun cream, and also a foldable umbrella for unexpected showers.
 If you are prepared for the heat or you come from a place with a hot summer, you won’t feel disappointed with the must-see springs. Temperatures of spring waters are cool and lovely for relieving summer heat. Besides, the parks are always covered with lush green trees and water play areas are opened up. The air cools down near the water and under the trees, relieving much of the burning heat.
 Mountain areas are always cooler than downtown. It can be a welcome relief and a perfect July gateway. Over 130 buddha statues stand on the mountain and overlook the Jinan City. Wanfo Cave is incredibly cool, you can take a break there while admiring the diverse Buddha statues. It’s only about a 30-minute walk to the top, where you can appreciate the sunset if you climb in the late afternoon and enjoy panoramic views of Jinan.
 1. Prepare 1 - 2 bottles of electrolyte water for possible electrolyte imbalance due to excessive sweating.
2. Try to avoid the hottest times of the day. It is recommended to go out in the early morning or evening. Thousand Buddha Mountain offers free admission after 6 PM.
