The NMC's 08:00 October 10 forecast shows sunshine and highs of 29–30°C through October 12, cloud on October 13–14 and light rain with 26°C on October 15. Use the first half for outdoor heritage and keep museums and studios for later.
Useful windows in the seven-day forecast
October 10 is sunny at 30/17°C, October 11 sunny at 29/18°C, October 12 sunny at 29/18°C, October 13–14 cloudy with highs near 30°C, October 15 light rain at 26/20°C and October 16 overcast at 23/20°C. Forecasts change, so recheck before departure.
The day–night range calls for a light layer early and late, with water and sun protection at midday. Yaoli, mountain Fuliang, Wuyuan and Huangshan need separate local forecasts.
Place ceramic visits across the week
Use October 10–12 for Taoyangli lanes, public Hutian spaces, Sanbao walking or rural routes. Keep China Ceramics Museum, the Imperial Kiln Museum and a reserved studio as cloudy or wet-weather anchors. Sunshine does not override closure or booking rules.
Around October 15, use non-slip shoes, compact rainwear and waterproof layers around ceramic cartons. Cancel waterside, slope and undeveloped activities when rain, thunder or geological risk rises.
Transport and return
Reduce exposed walking in hot afternoons. Wet-weather taxi demand may rise, so confirm legal pickup. Follow the operator for rail or flight changes and allow time for passport checks, security and fragile luggage.
A driver or guide may reorder the day but cannot guarantee roads, venue access or punctuality.
