The gardening seasons so far in Nanning China

I arrived in July 2007 not knowing how the seasons would pan out here in Nanning. I knew the summers were hot and wet and the winters cooler, cold and dry.

• July was hot humid 32/35 degrees most days with a night time temperature of 20. Some rain, not much but sometimes hard and prolonged.
• August was similar with a little more rain, day and night.
• September saw more rain, six or seven times a week, day and night and heavy at times. Temperature now fluctuating between 28/35 degrees daytime and the first part of the nights 20. By the morning though a lot cooler, maybe around 15 degrees some days.
• October the temperatures were between 25/34 daytime with the evenings cooling down quickly, by morning on some days it really felt quite chilly. A lot less rain and the air becoming noticeably dryer.
• November was a lot more windy, sometimes a cool wind and occasional rain, not many times did it rain but when it did, it was heavy. Now the daytime temperatures are down in the mid 20's most days.
• December was dry I only think it rained once and not particularly heavy. A lot cooler now, some days around 15 degrees and some nights around 10. But the occasional day the temperature rose to a giddy 25.

It does feel chilly now most days, especially night and morning. Some windy days. Worth noting, this year has been particularly dry by past levels, especially the Autumn/Winter period, so far. I'm learning all the time...
