Wuhan experiences a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons. The city follows a typical East Asian monsoon pattern, with hot, humid summers and cool, relatively dry winters. Summer months (June-August) are characterized by high temperatures reaching into the 90s°F and heavy rainfall, with July being the wettest month at 10.1 inches. The monsoon season brings most of the annual precipitation between May and July, while winter months are considerably drier with January receiving only 2.1 inches of rainfall. The most comfortable periods are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when temperatures are moderate and rainfall is more manageable. Winter can be quite chilly with temperatures dropping to the 30s°F, while summer heat combined with high humidity can be intense. The consistent 70% humidity year-round adds to the muggy feeling during warmer months but also means the air rarely feels completely dry even in winter.
