The NMC's 08:00 October 16 forecast gives light rain and 28–20°C today, followed by cloudy highs of 32–33°C from October 17 to 19 and more light rain on October 20. Use indoor venues today and add hydration, sun protection and nowcast checks for weekend events.
Make indoor visits today's backbone
October 16 is forecast to have light rain with a high of 28°C and low of 20°C. Anchor the day with China Ceramics Museum, the Imperial Kiln Museum, a confirmed exhibition or a reserved studio, keeping outdoor districts cancellable when rain permits.
Wear non-slip shoes and add an outer waterproof layer to ceramic cartons without trapping wet plastic against a piece. Stop valley, waterside and undeveloped-area activity during lightning, intense rain or flooding.
Weekend heat is not an all-day walking invitation
Cloud and highs of 33°C, 32°C and 33°C are forecast for October 17–19. Fair programs add walking and queues, so use mornings and evenings outdoors and move into exhibitions, meals or rest at midday. Older travelers, children and long-haul arrivals need water and breaks every 60–90 minutes.
Check separate forecasts for Sanbao, Fuliang, Yaoli, Wuyuan and Huangshan. Dry conditions downtown do not prove a mountain road is safe.
More rain on October 20 calls for return margin
Light rain is forecast again on October 20, with a wide 34–16°C range. Carry layers and place the final activity before a fixed train or flight in the city, not in a rural area or a firing session that cannot end early.
