What to expectTaizhou through the year

Taizhou has a clear annual cycle: average daily highs run from 11 °C in January to 32 °C in July, a swing of 21 °C in mean temperature across the year.

Counted across a normal year, 143 days a year reach 25 °C, 64 of them reach 30 °C, 11 nights drop below freezing. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 40 °C, in August.

Rain is strongly seasonal. June averages 261 mm against 62 mm in December — 4.2 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.

The sea off Taizhou is warmest in August at 28 °C and coldest in February at 12 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
