The climate of Beijing (China)
Beijing is one of the most important cities in China. Beijing is
located in the province of Hebei. The city operates as an autonomous
province, directly under the administration of the government. The
city is a bulwark of ancient history, everywhere you walk you come
across buildings that have played an important role during the history
of China. The forbidden City, where the emperors held court for
centuries; the enormous Tiananman Square where students protested and
the more recent Olympic Stadium. Many parks also are a silent witness
to the glorious history of China. Beihai Park used to be an imperial
garden and is now open to the public to enjoy the many beautiful
plants and flowers. Beijing has a warm continental climate. Because of
the influence of the Asian monsoon summers are long, hot and moist
here. During the winter the wind comes from the north, supplying cold
air from Siberia and causing extremely cold days. Because of the
drought during the winter dust storms may form. This is not conducive
to air quality. Although the authorities have done their utmost to
improve the air quality (especially for the Olympic Games) it is still
unpleasant to be in Beijing on warm days.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
