Tai'an has a fairly clear seasonal division in terms of precipitation, although the total annual volume is not very high. Summer is the wettest period, while winter is characterized as a very dry season. Spring and autumn are transitional periods with a moderate amount of rainfall.

The summer months, especially July and August, bring the most precipitation. July sees an average of 7 mm of rainfall, making it the rainiest month with about 16 rainy days. August follows with 6 mm of rainfall and approximately 13 rainy days. June also marks the start of the wetter period with 3 mm of rainfall and 8 rainy days. Summer precipitation usually comes in the form of rain, which can be intense but brief.

In these months, as well as in February (1 mm), the number of days with precipitation is minimal—from 2 to 3 days. Given the low winter temperatures, especially in January (average -0.5°C, minimum -5.0°C) and December (average 0.2°C, minimum -4.4°C), any precipitation falling on these "wet days" is most likely to be in the form of light snow or frost rather than rain.

The number of rainy days during these periods fluctuates between 4 and 7, making them generally comfortable to visit in terms of rainfall, although there is still a chance of rain.

When preparing for a trip to Tai'an, it is important to consider its pronounced seasonality and significant temperature variations throughout the year. The key principle when packing is layering, which will allow you to feel comfortable during both the cool morning hours and the warmer afternoons, especially in spring and autumn. Regardless of the season, comfortable walking shoes will be your best companion, as Tai'an offers many interesting places to explore.

If your trip is planned for the winter months (December–February), be prepared for cold and dry weather. Average temperatures hover around zero, and nighttime lows can drop to -5°C. You will need a warm winter jacket, sweaters, thermal underwear, a hat, gloves, and a scarf. For the summer months (June–August), the weather is typically hot and more humid, especially in July and August when rainfall reaches its peak. Pack light, breathable clothing made of natural fabrics, shorts, T-shirts, sun hats, and definitely sunscreen. Don't forget a light waterproof jacket or an umbrella in case of summer showers.

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) in Tai'an are transitional seasons with pleasant but changeable temperatures. It can be quite warm during the day, while mornings and evenings are noticeably cool. The ideal choice is clothing that is easy to combine: T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, light sweaters or fleece jackets, and a mid-season jacket—perhaps a windbreaker. Precipitation is unlikely during these periods, but a small folding umbrella or a light wind jacket won't go amiss. And, of course, don't forget sunscreen, as the sun can be active even on cool days.
