Typhoons

The eastern coast of Hainan lies in the path of typhoons, which occur between May and November. Typhoons bring strong winds, heavy rains, and sudden temperature drops. Transportation and schools may be affected.

Fog and Humidity

In January and February, the coastal areas of Hainan, particularly in the north of the island, are often affected by thick fog caused by cold winter fronts to the north coming into contact with the warmer sea fronts. It may be difficult to dry clothes, and moisture condensing on interior walls may lead to mold. Reduce humidity by keeping your windows closed and using the dehumidifying function on your air conditioner. Consider buying a standalone dehumidifier.

Sunshine

Due to Hainan's low latitude, sunshine tends to be very intense on clear days. Remember to use sunscreen and umbrellas to prevent sunburn.
