Hunan's warmth eases over the week from 2026-11-12
Chenzhou stands out as Hunan's warmest city at 22.5°C, while Loudi has the lowest daytime high at 14.8°C. The spread between them is 7.7°C, a substantial difference for clothing choices within the province. Hengyang reaches 17.8°C under overcast skies, below the leading city's warmth. Light rain affects Changde, Xiangxi and Shaoyang, while rain also features elsewhere in the province, making wet-weather clothing relevant beyond a single location.
The seven-day trend shows highs easing by about 3.1°C overall. During the period, the peak is 24.2°C and the lowest high is 19.4°C, indicating a retreat from the warmest conditions. Keep rainwear available where rain is indicated, and choose layers that can be removed during warmer daytime hours. The provincial low of 9.6°C means an extra layer remains useful for the cooler part of the day, even where the afternoon is comparatively warm.
