Best Time to Visit Wuhan

Wuhan is a great tourist destination to visit all year round, but the best time to visit is from October to mid-June, when the weather is mild and pleasant.

For those seeking Wuhan's iconic cherry blossoms, it is highly recommended to come during mid-March to early April. Besides, if you want to have a more budget-friendly trip, consider a visit to Wuhan during the off-season from November to early March.

Wuhan has a subtropic monsoon climate with hot and rainy summers, cold and windy winters, pleasant but short springs and autumns.

Besides, due to river winds and high humidity, winters are very cold here, although the temperature is not as low as those in the northern cities.
