The tables below give monthly averages for rainfall plus snowfall during April at cities in China. Each place has a total for how many days of wet weather it usually gets this month and for the normal amount of precipitation.
You can jump to a separate table for each section of the country: North China, Northeast China, East China, South Central China, Southwest China and Northwest China.
The calculation of days only includes the days when precipitation totalled at least one millimetre (0.04 inches). The month's total precipitation is an average of long-term historical weather data.
