Guangzhou is within the control of a tropical monsoon climate. The high temperature haunts the city all the year round, with an average annual temperature of 21oC (69.8oF). It experiences abundant rainfall; the annual precipitation being around 1,624-1,900 millimeters (639-748 inches). The rainfall is mainly concentrated during the rainy period which lasts from April to September.
The annual temperature is only 15oC (59oF) or so. The mean temperature in June and August is 28.0-28.7oC (82.4-83.7oF) while the mean temperature in January 12.4-23.5oC (54.3-74.3oF). Fortunately, it is not burning hot in summer because a great deal of rain comes and repels the heat. The wind direction changes with the season and blows at quite a high wind speed in spring and winter. In summer, the wind speed lessens, but a possible gale may release its full fury.
