Local context
What to expect in October
Autumn in Chengdu is often underrated: 21°F, golden light and declining crowds. An interesting window. Expect rain on 44% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. Not the best window, but acceptable if dates are constrained. May (7.6/10) is significantly better if possible.
