In Yiwu, noticeable seasonal fluctuations in precipitation are observed, allowing for the distinction of relatively wet and dry periods throughout the year. The most intense precipitation occurs in late spring and early summer, with a clear peak in June. This month is the rainiest both in terms of total rainfall and the number of rainy days. In contrast, the autumn and early winter months, particularly from October to December, as well as January, are characterized as the driest.

June definitely stands out as the wettest month in Yiwu: on average, 11 mm of precipitation falls, and the number of rainy days reaches 20. This suggests that rains are a frequent occurrence in early summer. The preceding May is also quite wet, with 6 mm of precipitation and approximately 15 rainy days. Spring months, such as March (4 mm, 15 days) and April (5 mm, 14 days), as well as mid-summer in July (5 mm, 15 days), show a moderate amount of precipitation evenly distributed over about half of the month, which may indicate regular but not necessarily torrential rains.

The driest months in terms of precipitation are January, October, November, and December, each receiving only about 2 mm. However, the number of days with precipitation in these months varies from 8 (in October and December) to 11 (in January). This means that even in the driest periods, precipitation is possible, but it is likely to be light and brief. Overall, Yiwu is characterized by a change of seasons in terms of rainfall, with a distinct wet period in early summer and drier weather in autumn and early winter.

When planning a trip to Yiwu, it is important to choose the right wardrobe to feel comfortable in any weather. Given the pronounced change of seasons and possible temperature changes during the day, the best solution would be the layering principle in clothing. An indispensable item in your suitcase will be comfortable shoes for long walks around the city and markets. Also, since Yiwu has quite a few days with precipitation throughout the year, especially from March to September, a compact umbrella or a light waterproof jacket will become your faithful companions.

If your trip falls during the warm season, from late spring to early autumn (May-September), give preference to light, breathable clothing made from natural fabrics. In summer, especially in July and August, when temperatures can rise to 34°C, do not forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. June is the rainiest month, so waterproof clothing or a reliable umbrella will be especially relevant. In spring (March-May) and autumn (October-November), the weather is milder, but evenings can be cool, so a light jacket, cardigan, or sweater will be very handy. Rains are also likely in these transitional seasons, so an umbrella will not be amiss.

For a trip to Yiwu in winter (December-February), it is worth preparing for cool weather with average temperatures around 6-7°C, and sometimes lower. You will need warm clothes: sweaters, fleece tops, a warm jacket or coat, as well as a hat, scarf, and gloves, especially if you are sensitive to cold. Although the total amount of precipitation in winter is small, days with light rain or wet snow still happen, so waterproof outerwear and shoes may also come in handy. Regardless of the season, it is always useful to have several layers of clothing with you to easily adapt to the changing weather conditions of Yiwu.
