China Weather in June 2024: How to Benefit from the Rainy Season

Written byChris QuanUpdated Sep. 6, 2023

June sees real summer weather across all of China. The summer heat sets in, even in the north, and the temperature rises over 30°C (86°F) in most of China.

China’s rainy season starts in all regions by the end of June, and it comes earlier in the southern regions. The rainfall brings a drop in temperature, making June the coolest summer month. There is much less rainfall in the north and west, so the temperature is relatively hot there.

June is also the summer month with the least crowds. In June, you could avoid the domestic tourist crowds, who travel during China's school holidays (July and August).
