Beijing climate: monthly averages

One page for Beijing climate: monthly averages, sourced from public APIs and refreshed automatically. Expect -5.2 C at the coldest (Jan) and 26.6 C at the warmest (Jul) — a 31.8 C spread. Expect a wet season rather than rain year-round: Jul brings 4.88 mm/day against 0.06 mm/day in Jan. Taken together that is roughly 529 mm of rain a year for the grid cell. Because each page is rebuilt independently, one unavailable upstream never takes the rest of the site down. The table underneath carries the per-month breakdown; the related pages cover the same dataset nearby.

What the Beijing climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 39.9075, 116.3972 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the numbers differ from a weather app?

An app shows one location on one day. These are long-run averages, so they smooth out single hot or cold spells.

How much rain is 4.88 mm/day in a month?

Rain is recorded as a daily mean, so 4.88 mm/day is roughly 148 mm across a 30-day month.
