Chengdu is a plain. The highest temperature in Chengdu in August is 35 or 36 degrees Celsius, and the temperature rarely exceeds 37 degrees. In addition, there are many showers in Chengdu. It is normal for the temperature to drop to more than 20 degrees after a rain. In Chengdu, a few days of hot weather will be followed by rainfall.

The temperature in Chengdu is generally not as hot and humid as the weather in nearby Chongqing. The temperature is high during the day and drops appropriately at night. The characteristic of the plain is that the wind comes quickly and blows quickly.

Generally speaking, you can wear summer clothes when traveling to Chengdu, but please be reminded that the temperature in Chengdu will drop after every rain, and it will drop to a level that you will feel cool, so it is best to bring a thin coat. Female friends can also bring sunscreen, and the most important thing is an umbrella, because the rain in summer can fall at any time.
