Travel Tips in Huangshan
 
Climate and Weather
 
Huangshan City is located in the subtropics, has a wet mild monsoon climate, annual average temperature ranges from 15 C (59 F)-16 C (60.8 F). Heaviest rainfall often occurs from May to August; most areas are free of severe winter cold. The comfortable weather offers good opportunities to travel throughout the year here.
 
Most visitors are mainly for the stunning sights on Mt. Huangshan, so weather on Mt. Huangshan is very important.

Weather on Mt. Huangshan is marine-like, climate is mild and humid. As it situated at higher altitude, temperature are lower, neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter. The mountain's variable weather adds a different dimension each season.
 
From April to June Mt. Huangshan is rainy, misty and cloudy. In April the average temperature on Mt. Huangshan is 10 C (50 F). Flowers, trees and grass emerge, making spring among the best seasons to visit. In summer, some places, however, such as Bright Summit Peak and Jade Screen Tower do not get a summer season. After a summer rainstorm, Mt. Huangshan becomes a world of water and rainbows above a sea of clouds. It is cool in summer, averaging 70 °F at the North Sea Area (1,630 meters above sea) and 80 °F at Hot Spring Area (630 meters above sea) in July (the hottest month). As clouds often shut out the sun, hot weather never stays long, and this makes Yellow Mountains an ideal summer resort. In the fall, the average temperature is 12.9 C (55.22 F) in September and 11.7 C (53.06 F) in October. Many tourists recommend the winter landscapes of Mt. Huangshan as the most spectacular. As Mt. Huangshan lies in subtropical zones, it's not quiet cold in winter, at least, not such cold as some people expected. The temperature ranges from 25 °F to 40 °F, but it's enough to result in fantastic snow scenery and a silver world with pines and precipitous peaks covered with snow and decorated with icicles.
 
As the temperature on Mt. Huangshan is often about 10 C (50 F), and windy, you need to bring a coat even in summer although some hotels do offer overcoat rentals. If you go to Mt. Huangshan in winter, bring warm clothes please. It is always wise to check the weather report the day before.
