Expats who are relocating to Shanghai will enjoy the spring and autumn months which are by far the most pleasant, while the summer months can be scorching hot; average daytime temperatures reach as high as 95°F (35°C) with 80 percent humidity and lots of rain, so make sure you have a good umbrella. During the windy months of September and October, expats can expect the odd typhoon while the winter months see temperatures drop below freezing.
