Introduction to Tianjin Climate
Less influenced by the inland China sea - Bohai Sea, Tianjin possesses a semi-moist continental monsoon climate, with monsoon prevailing all year round. It has four clearly divided seasons and each season has its own beautiful scenery. The annual precipitation is 550-650 millimeters, 75% of which is mainly concentrated in summer.

The weather in spring from late March to early May is pleasant and suitable for traveling. You can go outing to climb Mt. Panshan and pay a visit to the Dule Temple at the foot of the mountain on your way back as well. However, there will be windy days and sandstorms occasionally. In early spring, you may have to wear a wool sweater plus a thick jacket (or a wind coat), but a long-sleeved T-shirt may be enough for late spring.

Summer in Tianjin is usually from middle May to the end of August when it is very sultry because of neighboring the sea. It is also the rainy season – the rainfall of June to August takes up 75% of the whole year, so rain wear is a requisite. The temperature difference between day and night can be big, so it is best to wear a light overcoat at night so as not getting a cold. The annual Tianjin Beer Festival is just held in July.

Autumn is cool with a mild and pleasant temperature, but only lasting for 50-56 days from September to late October. At this time, you may just bring long-sleeved T-shirts plus one or two light overcoat. It’s a good time to enjoy the red, yellow and green leaves on Huangyaguan Great Wall.

Tianjin’s winter is both cold and long, starting from November and ending at February. The temperature can drop down -15 C (5 F), accompanied with piercing wind. Thus, you have to wear wool sweaters, down coats, wool scarf and gloves. It has become a fashion to have a hot spring spa at Dijing Hot Spring City or Donglihu Hot Spring Holiday Resort.
