Best time to visit Shenzhen

Spring in Shenzhen (February – April) is a time to recuperate from the cold, chilly days. The city has a sub-tropical climate and weather is unexpectedly bound to change. It is the season with the least sunny days in the year. Fog and rain can last for a week in the early weeks of spring. Summer (May – October) sees incredibly high temperatures and humidity. If you love the sun, then a visit during this time would suit you. The best time to visit Shenzhen is during autumn (October – January), when temperatures are much cooler and you can plan an easy, comfortable tour. Sunny days with placid temperatures last almost the entire day, accept in the evenings when it might get a little chilly. Winter in Shenzhen (January – February) is short, with a scarcity of rainfall and windy days. Most people tend to stay during the winter as the climate renders favourable conditions. Pack clothing for various seasons, as you might get those unforeseen circumstances.
