Hello yang,
there are no climate data for China in WUFI.
You can use other sources like Energy Plus or Meteonorm, see section "Sources for weather data" on this page for more information:

External climate data are not usable with WUFI Light.

Hello, Christian,

thank you. Right now i am using a WUFI 2D 3.3, and I am using the .epw weather data for shanghai. Unfortunately, the rainfall data is not included. Do I need to refer to the local hourly rainfall data, and then edit the .epw document?

Hello yang,
if you have a problem, where you need the rain, you will have to get complete data sets. You should not add rain from a different source, as the data will not fit together. Imagine you could get a hot sunny day with a lot of rain...
Try to get a complete weather file. Maybe you can find a location with similar weather conditions and use that.
Christian
