Beijing Weather in June

Season: Summer
In short: hot, especially the midday; occasional and not continuous rains
 June is the beginning of summer in Beijing, and has high and still increasing temperature. Except for the rainy days or when there is cold air, the daily highest temperature usually reaches above 30°C (86°F). According to the historical data, there are about 10 days with a daily high of 35°C (95°F) or above this month. Besides, there is still a big temperature difference between day and night of around 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit), and you may still need a thin shirt or jacket if you go out in the early morning or at night. 
 Generally speaking, clear days are the norm of the June weather of Beijing. On average, there is 78 mm of rainfall in about 10 days, but it won’t rain continuously. Because of the high temperature and the strong air convection, thunderstorms occur occasionally. In other words, maybe you are eating lunch when you realize it’s starting to rain outside, but by the time you finish your meal, the weather clears up again, and you can continue your journey. So don’t need to worry much about the rain this month. It is not yet humid this month, with an average humidity of 61%.

Jinshanling Great Wall in Sunny June

 Both the daylight hours and sunshine hours are at their longest level this month, which are 15 and 9 respectively. With an early sunrise at 04:45 - 04:49 and a late sunset at 19:37 - 19:47, you have more daytime to explore the city. But for those planning to see flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square, they need to get up even earlier while those interested in the sunset over the Forbidden City need to stay longer and later in Jingshan Park. 

The UV index also reaches its highest of the year, at 9, and you may get sunburn if you are exposed to the sunshine for more than half an hour but fail to use sunscreen or take other sun protection measures.
