| Having a plateau monsoon climate at low latitudes, Dali's weather
fluctuates each season but with an annual mean temperature ranging
from 12 to 19 (54H-66H). As such, Dali is a favorite tourist destination
all year round. Due to its higher altitude, Dali is slightly colder
than Kunming. Its rainy season begins in June and last till October.
The hottest days are in July with average temperature of 22 (72H)
while the coldest in January at 8 (46H). Thanks to its higher altitude,
Dali enjoys bright sunshine which is most welcome during the winter
months.
Although the difference in temperature is not great throughout
the year but spring is usually deemed as the best season to visit
Dali. There are local songs eulogizing the scenic beauty of Dali's
spring. Wherever one goes at this time of the year, one can enjoy
the most beautiful sceneries of Dali. When summer turns into autumn,
the temperature falls dramatically, especially if it rains. Hence,
warmer clothing is required during that period.
There are many ethnic minorities in Dali. Consequently, many festivals
and celebrations of each of these minorities follow. For instance,
the Bai minority group holds their celebration in March and if one
visits Dali during that month, one will be able to witness the joyous
mood all around. People are friendly and hospitable but visitors
must be aware and thus avoid ethnic taboos.
