The weather in Beijing is characterised by four distinct seasons, which are brought about by the city’s monsoon-influenced humid continental climate. Beijing’s summers are hot and wet, while winters are bitterly cold and dry.

The summer months, especially July and August, are prone to sudden evening downpours, so keeping an umbrella nearby is handy. July is the hottest month, with heatwaves becoming more common recently. Average summer temperatures in Beijing range from 81°F (27°C) to 86°F (30°C).

Spring and autumn tend to be mild and pleasant, with the autumn foliage being a major highlight. While spring is generally a pleasant time of the year, dust storms may occur due to dry conditions. January is the coldest month of the year, with maximum temperatures only reaching 25°F (-4°C) on some days.
