The best time to visit Shenzhen is from October to December, when temperatures are mild (21-29°C) and rain is scarce, with only 4-10 rain days per month. January and February are also pleasant and dry, though slightly cooler. Avoid June through September, the hottest and rainiest stretch, with 25-27 rain days monthly and high humidity.
