Chongqing weather is as follows: early spring, hot summer, cool autumn and warm winter, with a long frost-free period and abundant rainfall. In summer, the temperature can reach up to 40°C (104 °F), so Chongqing together with Nanjing and Wuhan are known as the ‘three furnace cities’ in China. Spring and winter are recommended as the optimum time to tour Chongqing.
Every year when spring is yielding to summer, there is a great amount of night rain, and thus the city is famous for its "night rain in the Ba Mountains". On average, Chongqing has about 100 foggy days annually, so it is also famous as the 'capital of fog'.
