Guangzhou Weather Successfully K.O.'d This Shandong Native

[Franklin Weimann IV]

Attention, friends visiting Guangzhou!

• Wow, the weather in Guangzhou is quite hot and humid! It feels like you've skipped straight from April to summer.

  • Travel Tip: As a city near the tropics in southern China, Guangzhou can be very hot and humid even during the spring. Please remember to bring light, breathable clothing such as shorts and t-shirts, together with sunscreen and an umbrella!

• Since so far, this should be the southernmost city I visited in China.
• Walking around Guangzhou's streets, you are sure to notice the vibrant and lively atmosphere, busy figures everywhere, and delicious food being served.
• In conclusion, I really love the Guangzhou's pace of life - faster but full of vitality!

So much delicious food! [Awesome R]

[Bonnie Beatty]

It's also great for exploring the streets! [Super like R]

This is why you don't see many girls in Guangdong wearing a full face of makeup, unless it's for a special occasion. Because the moment you step outside, it all melts! All of it! And it's not even that hot yet. Give it a bit more time, and sweat will turn your face into a total mess in minutes.

[Felix Glover]

I've been wondering these past couple of days here, do girls in Guangdong even wear makeup? With this terribly humid and hot weather, any makeup would probably just smudge, right?

The original poster (OP) has been having a cup of herbal tea every day these past few days.

[Joanne Swift]

Actually, it seems they've developed 'internal heat' (Shang Huo), and their gums are all swollen.

[Lewis Larkin]

The weather these past few days has actually been quite comfortable, don't you think? The really scorching hot season hasn't even begun.

[Abel Schulist MD]

It's mainly the stuffiness and humidity that make it feel even hotter~ It's still pretty cool in the north right now, you know.

[Johnathan Schmeler]

When I passed by Yongqing Fang this year, I really couldn't understand what possesses out-of-town tourists to visit at this time of year. Even as a Guangdong local, I find this weather miserable.

[Andrea Hand]

Their thinking is probably: 'They just haven't experienced the full force of Guangzhou's April weather!' Just a few days ago in Qingdao, I was still wearing a padded winter coat.

[Wesley Parisian-Kerluke IV]

As a woman from Shandong, I felt the same! Yesterday, when I got off the plane, I thought I'd walked into someone's steam room! Today's a little better, though.

[Guadalupe Barton]

LMAO, your description made me understand instantly!

[Theodore Wiza]

I'm arriving in Guangzhou on April 28th. What kind of clothes should I wear? Would it be okay to wear a skirt with bare legs?

[Lewis Larkin]

Yes, that's fine. It's already quite hot.

[Kevin Harris]

Looks like the original poster (OP) has left. For this trip, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it !

[Leslie Kunde]

Thank you, sweetie! Even us locals are cursing this awful weather, and yet you're giving our place such a high score!

[Mr. Philip Hudson]

This is so scary! I want to bring my kids for a trip, but I keep seeing posts trying to discourage people from going. Should I still go or not?!

[Theodore Wiza]

Well, you're just visiting, not planning to live here, right? Generally speaking, it's just going to be hot from now on.

[Dr. Guadalupe Homenick]

What do you mean 'like it's summer in April'? April is summer in Guangdong! (Just kidding / jk)
