Weifang Weather in May

May weather in Weifang

May feels like proper spring in Weifang. Afternoons can reach 28°C, while evenings cool to around 13°C. There's plenty of daylight, and the weather is usually comfortable for walking around the city.

Rain falls on about seven days, so a shower may interrupt a day out. The mild conditions suit visits to the World Kite Museum and walks through Shihu Garden. Save long outdoor plans for a dry day; June is hotter and wetter. If you hate crowds, choose a weekday outside the May Day holiday.

Holidays and crowds

China's May Day holiday brings more domestic visitors to Weifang. Popular sights and transport can feel busier, and prices may rise compared with ordinary May weekdays. Outside the holiday, May is still a popular spring month, but it's generally calmer than the summer travel season.

The famous Weifang International Kite Festival is usually held in April, so don't count on it taking place during your May visit. May Day itself is the main holiday to keep in mind; the exact holiday dates can vary.

Make the most of your visit

For a city day, pair the World Kite Museum with nearby downtown streets, then stop for Weifang rou huo shao, a local baked flatbread filled with meat. It's an easy way to get a taste of the city without relying on good weather.

Travelling with kids? The kite museum gives you an indoor option if rain rolls in. If you're hoping to see kites flying, ask locally about conditions rather than assuming the April festival is still on.
