🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a warm embrace from the Shanghai spring with daytime temperatures hovering between +24°C and +28°C . The humidity (70-75%) can make the afternoons feel heavy, so plan for indoor breaks between 13:00 and 15:00. What to wear: Light, breathable fabrics (linen/cotton) are essential. Always carry a compact umbrella or a light raincoat for sudden May showers. Logistics Tip: May 19th is China Tourism Day—expect heavy crowds but look out for 50% discounts on major attraction tickets.
