IS IT REALLY HOT IN THE SUMMER IN SHANGHAI CHINA
Hello. Yes during summer it is hot in Shanghai, and with heavy humidity. Temperatures can reach over 35 degrees celcius or 95 F. So if you plan to visit Shanghai during this time, you need to prepare sunscreen, sunglasses and drink lots of fluids. Mia Yang Replied on 2010-10-21
