Weather Shanghai November

The weather in Shanghai is changeable, especially in spring and autumn. November is the deep autumn. Shanghai is getting colder and colder in November.

Some people from northern part of China can not even stand the weather in Shanghai, for two reasons. The first is "changeable", and the second is "cold" in winter.

In November the highest temperature of a day may be up to 25°C or down to 10°C. When the cold air comes from the North, wind and rain will be tough all day. So the weather forecast is necessary.

Because in Shanghai the air is wet, so it feels colder than it actually is. And Shanghai is the north most city that does not have heating equipments. In cities north of Shanghai, steam heaters are installed in every home and every office. People can wear T-shirt in their houses in winter. In Shanghai, heating equipment is not a standard configuration for a room. Although most of the rooms have air-condition, it is not as effective as central heating system. It is much more expensive than central heating system. Not every house owner/business are rich enough to turn it on 24 hours a day.

So the tip is:
1.Refer to the weather forecast everyday
2.Several thin layers of clothing will keep you warmer than one thick one. It’s convenient to take off when it’s hot and put on when it’s cold.
3.Put an umbrella or other rain gear in your office.
