When to go, and when not to
The strongest months to visit Guiyang are July, August, and September, which carry the highest visit scores of the year. July brings highs around 28.1C with about 9.6 hours of sunshine a day, August is similar with highs of 28.2C and 9.8 hours of sunshine, and September cools slightly to highs of 27.4C with 9.2 hours of sunshine, making this stretch the sunniest and warmest period overall.
These same months form the peak season, so travelers should expect more visitors during this window. June, just before this peak, is the wettest month with 331mm of rain, and August is technically the hottest month by daytime high, so those weighing sunshine against rainfall and heat may want to factor in these trade-offs when picking exact travel dates.
