Is it less humid to go earlier in June than later?

I was going to tour in China starting in Beijing through to Shanghai from 22nd June to 30th June next year. But would it be better to maybe go 1st June through 10th June, or even 8th June through 18th June instead? I am not worried about the hot/heat. I am trying to avoid some of the humidity and rain. What would be best - earlier or later in June?

Hi there. Actually, the rainfall in June is quite dense in the city. To avoid the humidity and heat, June 1-10th can be relatively proper. Hope you have a good trip!

Answered by Laura from AUSTRALIA | Nov. 28, 2016 17:01

What about 8th through the 17th June? Better to go earlier than that? Just for the humidity factor and rain?

Answered by Nick | Nov. 28, 2016 23:58

Based on previous weather statistics, June 8th to 17th will be a good time. It will probably be cloudy and shower sometimes. It won't be very humid. The weather will be relatively comfortable. Have a good time! :)

It have showers often in these days, and the temperature ranges from 75F to 90F. It is hot and moist. You may take T-shirts, shorts, sandles, sunglasses, and a raincape.

Take metro line 10 from T1 or T2 of Hongqiao Airport, and get off at Jiaotong University. Then, change to metro line 11 to Jiangsu Road Station, Exit 7. Walk south for about 700 yards to it.
