What is the weather like?
Yangshuo’s archived average range is 23–30°C in June. Humidity is high, and some afternoons climb close to 35°C.
The old climate guide records around 293 mm of rain. Short showers occur, but several heavy spells can change river conditions quickly.
What should you pack?
Take a breathable shirt, rain shell and waterproof phone pouch. Pack a spare top if you will spend the day on a raft or in villages.
Shoes with tread help on wet steps and paths. Keep a dry pair of socks at your lodging for the evening.
What works outdoors?
Check Li River and Yulong River departures before leaving your hotel. Heavy rain can turn the rivers muddy or pause rafting.
Use the Yangshuo travel guide to choose a shorter land route if boats stop. West Street can fill an evening after the rain passes.
When should you plan the day?
June has more than 13.5 hours of daylight, the longest stretch of the year. Use the extra light to wait out a shower, not to stay exposed in thunder.
Compare May weather if you are choosing dates. May is also very wet in the archived record.
Which mistakes should you avoid?
Do not treat a short rain break as a guarantee that the river is ready. Upstream water may still be high.
Do not pack only an umbrella. Wind and heavy rain make a wearable shell and dry pouch more practical.
