In the summer time, the temperature usually is around ninety degrees. Heavy rains are usually present in the early summers, and last through out the summer.

December gets 1.5/1.6 inches.
I had no idea what you meant by what kind of precipitation. I tried searching on Google for anything to deal with that, but I could not find anything.

Those animals are, The Giant Panda, the South Chinese Tiger, the Chinese Alligator, Takin, and the Golden Lion Tamarin. A plant that is found in Shanghai is Bamboo. These are plants that the Giant Panda rely on for food. I really could not find anything else.

in the city is probably terrible as well.
