Hangzhou Weather in October

The temperature in Hangzhou changes significantly in October. The weather can be hot during the National Day holiday, the first week of October, with the high temperature reaching 30 °C (86°F), but the high temperature usually drops below 20°C (68°F) later that same month. Besides, it seldom rains in this month. As the autumn is short in Hangzhou, the weather turns cooler after each autumn rain.

October is the tourist peak season in Hangzhou, especially during the National Day Golden Week, when there are also many Chinese tourists. Just like spring April, October is the other great time for travel in Hangzhou due to the comfortable climate.
