Beijing Weather

Beijing’s climate is characterized by hot, humid, rainy summers and cold, windy, dry winters with some
snow. Spring and autumn are considered to be the best times to visit Beijing, especially during the months
of April, May, September, and October. Indoor heating is widely available in businesses and residential
areas. Air conditioning is installed in most businesses.

Heavy traffic and intense industrialization cause Beijing to suffer from pollution and poor air quality. Dust
from eroding deserts in northern China results in seasonal dust storms in the city.
