In August, the temperature declines a little compared with July but it is still scorching outside. The highest temperature reaches nearly 28 °C (82.4 °F), and you may feel like you are in a big smelter. The weather may cool down after the breeze blows and it rains.
Summer clothing still works, but long sleeve skirts are also needed to cope with the coolness.
August may fall during the peak travel season, especially for students on their summer holidays. The famous scenic spot, Bingling Thousand Buddha Caves, may be full of tourists.
