🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 СВОДКА ПОГОДЫ: In mid-November, Hengyang experiences pleasant autumn conditions with daytime highs around +17°C to +20°C (63°F–68°F) and crisp evening lows of +9°C to +12°C (48°F–54°F). Daylight is limited, with sunset arriving promptly around 17:40, requiring outdoor sights and mountain exploration to be completed before dusk. Morning valley mists and occasional light autumn drizzle make ancient stone staircases slick, especially on Mount Heng and island paths; sturdy, non-slip walking shoes and layered clothing with a windproof jacket are essential.
