Chengdu Weather in May
May is mild and warm, and occasionally hot . The average high temperature is 26 °C (79 °F ) and the average low temperature is 17 °C (63 °F ). It rains more during May, and is quite humid . Summer clothes like T-shirts are appropriate , but also bring a light coat or a sweater for the occasional coolness. If you go outdoors, take an umbrella in case it rains.
May remains a good time for traveling in Chengdu. The Tianpeng Peony Show may go to the middle of May, so if you enjoy the beauty of peonies, this is the ideal time to visit. Also plan to attend the dragon boat games in Longjin and enjoy the local customs of the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival.
May is a peak month for Chengdu's tourism business, especially around the National Labor Day holiday when the city is quite crowed. Hotel room prices may be higher than usual, and transportation is also busier, with train and flight tickets difficult to purchase. If you plan to visit around May 1, make your arrangements in advance. See our Chengdu Tours.
