When to visit Shanghai by weather? Sunday, May 30th, 2010

Now Shanghai is the spot center because of Expo 2010. When I walked on the street in the past months, I could tell more and more exotic faces visiting city.

Today I watched real TV show on the site of Expo, and I really don’t think it is a  good experience to queue a couple of hour to gain entry to the pavilion in hot summer. Now I believe Shanghai weather is still mild, specially a cooler air in the morning and evening. However, scorching days are approaching in the coming June, July, and August, so be prepared to take measure against any unpleasant baking days when you happen to pay a visit to Expo 2010.       Read More…

The weather of 2009 in Shanghai is extremely unusual!

We had the coolest yet wettest summer after the solar eclipse. And then we had the shortest and warmest autumn, always above 20 degrees. Now we are having the earliest cold winter right in town.

What an unusual weather this summer in Shanghai Friday, August 21st, 2009

Thunderstorm and pouring rain again today in Shanghai…..

Weather this summer in Shanghai is very strange. After 20th July, Shanghai has been raining for a month and doesn’t seem to stop!

This month is exactly like the plum rain wet season which is usually in late June, humid, wet and hot. Extremely uncomfortable. Even white fungus grows on some of my clothes. What a terrible weather! Read More…

Shanghai After the Heaviest Rain in 70 Years Friday, July 31st, 2009

It seems that Shanghai experienced some extreme weather in history, 40 degrees hottest day and then the heaviest rain in 70 years on last Thursday.

The rain started around lunch time. Many people were stopped indoors including myself. It was absolutely pouring, but fortunately it lasted about 2 hours. The heavy rain caused flood in some parts of the city affecting people’s living and the traffic. The only good thing was I saw the beautiful rainbow in Shanghai for the very first time after living here for 5 years. Read More…

40 Degrees! Hottest Day in Shanghai in 60 years Monday, July 20th, 2009

Hot, hot, hot…. that’s all I want to say today! And yes, today is the hottest day ever in 60 years in Shanghai, record high 40 degrees.

The sky was clear, the sun was shining all day. Although I could feel the wind, it was like standing in front of a hot oven! Completely roasted!

It is even worse that so many people catch cold.  Office is usually very cool because of the air conditioning. Some offices even set the temperature as low as 20 degrees. Imagine, you get out of the building where is 20 degrees and immediately into a 40 degree oven. I even got the goose bumps when I did that. Read More…
