Hefei climate: monthly averages

If you only need Hefei climate: monthly averages, the figures and table here are the whole story. Hefei runs from 2.0 C in Jan to 28.3 C in Jul, a swing of 26.3 C. Rain is strongly seasonal: Jul is the wettest month at 7.33 mm/day, while Dec runs at 1.24 mm/day, about 5.9x drier. Taken together that is roughly 1,149 mm of rain a year for the grid cell.

What the Hefei climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 31.86389, 117.28083 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.
