Lying in a sub-tropical monsoon climate zone, Wuhan has distinct four seasons with an annual average temperature of 16.8 centigrade and an annual average rainfall of 1093.3 milimeters. Its total green belts amount to an area of 359.56 square meters, covering 34.88 percent city.
Wuhan has a well-deserved reputation as one of China’s “Three Furnaces” (the other two being Nanjing and Chongqing), with an intensely hot and dry heat and temperatures averaging about 32 degrees Centigrade in June, July and August. The summer here is almost unbearable. The heat also feels like it will last for eternity, with spells lasting for weeks on end and little difference in temperature between day and night. Although rainfall is fairly high at this time, it provides little respite from the city heat. The winter here is also pretty unpleasant with minimum temperatures in January and February of 1 or 2 degrees Centigrade.
