Shanghai is Cooling Down

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2004-10-04 23:41 · Autumn

The temperature of Shanghai dropped by more than 10 °C these days and it becomes very cold at morning and night. The autumn comes to Shanghai. Wendy and I have caught cold these days due to the sudden change in temperature. I am still not used to wear jacket. The summer didn’t go in my mind but the Autumn does arrive. Please take care and bring more clothes if you come to Shanghai.

It is clear and the sky is blue - very nice whether to take pictures and go outting. It is 16 °C to 26 °C already and is becoming colder everyday.

P.S There are parachuting from Jin Mao tower at 2:00 PM tomorrow afternoon. I hope I will be there to see people jumping from the top of the Jin Mao Tower - of cause they have all the protection they need.

Jianshuo, do you know what companies have offices in the Jingmao Tower and Tomorrow Square? Where can I find out? Maybe you can compile a company listing, it will be very useful. Many thanks!

Hi mike, see this :

I went there, but the tickets were sold out, so I went to Oriental Pearl Tower in the 263-meter ball (50 RMB).

Exept from the crowd's pushing, I recorded many of the jumps with the camcorder (10x zoom using a tripod), and from that point it as possible to see the landings very well.

I guess 30-40 thousand spectators saw the show. It was really good !

Hi Jianshuo

The jumpers don't need any special protection, only their own skill

and a parachute that hopefully will come properly out of the bag every time :-)

Some have a special suit with extra fabric under the arms and between the legs, allowing them to glide to some extent, before the parachute is opened.

Don't be fooled by temperature alone. Shanghai feels colder because of the humidity and because the buildings are not heated. Jian Shuo, are those star hotels heated?

Seawater? There is no way to surf in Shanghai. So I suggest to give up the idea of surfing in Shanghai.

Hi there, I'll be in Shanghai at the end of September for about 8 days. Can you advise on the weather and the type of clothing I shall bring. For your information, I'm from Malaysia (tropical country)^^.

Will be in Shanghai for holiday in mid October for 11 days. Need advise on temperature at that time & whether thick warm clothing needed. What's the English name for hotel "yuan dong".

Tks & rgds.

@Linda, Oct is very nice month to visit. It is no longer hot, and it is warm enough. You don't need to get thick warm clothing - at that time, summer just past. I don't know any hotel named Yuan Dong, but by direct translation, it means fareast.
