Sanya has very warm weather all year around. The weather condition is very similar to Hawaii, as both places lay roughly on the same altitude.
We really only have two seasons here. In Summer our average daytime high temperature is 32 degrees centigrade; in Winter it is 25 degrees centigrade.
Rainy Months are July, August & September. So it may happen that for a week, it is sunny in the morning and rains cats and dogs in the afternoon, then sunny again.
A word of caution about the Sunshine: Use sunscreen and re-apply liberally all day long. Protect children with sun block containing zinc oxide or the latest 'in-sun suits' that protect from harmful rays. Hats and sunglasses are also a must.

Bring your own sunblock
