How Beijing’s temperature has been recorded
How hot does it get in Beijing?

January is the coolest month, averaging a daily high of 35.6°F. The gap between the warmest and coolest month is 84.9°F, which is what the ranking of capitals by annual swing is built on.
Which station measures Beijing's temperature?
Beijing (WMO 54511), 55 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
How is the temperature measured and checked?
Readings arrive from the reporting national meteorological service and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from the reporting national meteorological service at Beijing. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from Meteostat and its data providers observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.
