Songjiang Weather in November

November weather

November is cool and often cloudy in Songjiang, so it's a good month to visit but not quite the best. Days reach about 18°C, and nights drop to around 10°C. It rains on roughly 10 days, so a damp spell might spoil outdoor plans. Still, the weather is comfortable for walking, and the air feels less sticky than in summer.

You'll get about five hours of sun a day, which is enough for a stroll around Guangfulin Cultural Relics Park or a wander along the paths at Sheshan. Keep an indoor stop in mind for rainy afternoons. Under low cloud, the views from Sheshan won't be as rewarding, and wet paths can make a long walk less pleasant.

What to do

November has no major national holiday in China, so you won't need to plan around a big holiday rush. Shanghai's arts season sometimes includes events this month, but the programme changes from year to year, and many shows are in central Shanghai rather than Songjiang.

Travelling with kids? Pair a visit to Guangfulin's exhibits with some time outdoors if the weather holds. At Sheshan, the basilica and observatory make handy stops when clouds roll in. For a cosy meal, try local Songjiang braised pork. It suits a cool evening better than a picnic beside the park.

Crowds and costs

November is calmer than October, which remains Songjiang's best month overall. You'll miss most of the National Day holiday surge, and visitor numbers usually ease after autumn's busiest stretch. It's also a step ahead of the colder, quieter feel of December. Hotel rates can be gentler than during October's holiday peak, though prices vary by event and location.

A practical local tip: take the Songjiang tram toward Sheshan, then check the final walk to your chosen entrance before you set off. The park area is spread out, and on a rainy day an extra stretch on foot can feel longer than it looks on the map.
