The average temperature in November is about 8C and it will be colder in December, 1-3C. It is close to the sea, so the winter is wetter than inner land of China. Do keep warm.

What is the weather like in Jully because i will be there the end of June-July

Mr.Shan replied:
Generally, every July and August is the rainy season of Qingdao but there will not be lots of rainfall. The summer temperature is cooler than some inland cities but due to the abundant water from sea, the day may be muggy eough. And, the seashore will be encircled by thin mirage on the early morning and late night.. Take you umbrella both for preventing rainfall and sunshine~
