What is the weather like on the Yangtze River?
Generally, it is misty with a light breeze. The average temperature reaches 30 C (86 F) in July and 10 C (50 F) in January. Both spring and autumn are the best seasons for the Yangtze River cruise, especially April, May, September and October when the weather is cool and comfortable. During summer, thunderstorms are frequent which causes the river water to rise. This usually occurs between July and September. The winters are always short and cold. Because of the low water level during winter, few ships sail between November and February.
