Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Golden Frog sighting in Hefei on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July–August
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Golden Frog in Hefei on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and September, the lowest months. Those are among Hefei's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Golden Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Hefei (9 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
