Planning a trip or a stroll around the city of Xinzhou? Check out the up-to-date weather forecast and detailed charts below to choose the best time for your plans.

The climate in Xinzhou can be described as temperate continental with distinct seasons. The region is characterised by significant seasonal temperature fluctuations: from frosty winters to warm, but not exhaustingly hot, summers. Travellers should consider this contrast when planning their wardrobe for the trip.

Winter months here are cold and very dry, with the average temperature in January dropping to -6°C, and strong frosts often occurring at night. Summer, on the other hand, brings pleasant warmth: the air warms up to an average of +22...+27°C. It is the summer period, especially July and August, that accounts for the highest number of rainy days, so an umbrella will be a useful accessory during this time of year.

Spring and autumn in Xinzhou are transitional periods with quite comfortable, albeit changeable, weather. During these seasons, precipitation remains moderate, and the temperature changes gradually, creating pleasant conditions for walking and sightseeing without the winter chill.

The climate in Xinzhou is characterised by clearly defined seasonality with noticeable contrasts between winter and summer. The winter period here is quite severe: the coldest months are January and December, when the average temperature drops to -5...-6°C. At night, the thermometer often falls to -11...-12°C, and during the day, it barely rises above zero. Travellers planning a trip at this time will definitely need high-quality warm clothing and thermal underwear.

Summer in the region, conversely, delights with pleasant warmth without extreme heat, making it a comfortable time for tourism. The hottest month is July with an average temperature of about +22.6°C. At the height of the summer season, daytime maximums usually reach a comfortable +27°C, rarely exceeding this mark. This allows you to enjoy long walks without suffering from the exhausting heat typical of more southern regions of China.

An important feature of the temperature regime in Xinzhou is the significant amplitude of fluctuations between day and night readings. Throughout the year, the difference can range from 10 to 13 degrees. For example, in spring (April and May) and autumn (September and October), a warm sunny day is followed by a noticeable evening chill. Therefore, tourists are advised to adhere to the principle of layering in their clothing to feel comfortable at any time of day.

The precipitation pattern in Xinzhou has a distinct seasonal character, typical of the continental climate in this part of China. The wettest period of the year is summer. The peak of rainy weather falls in July and August: these months record the highest number of days with precipitation — an average of about 15 days monthly. Despite the high frequency of rain, its intensity, according to statistics, remains moderate, often manifesting as short downpours or drizzle.

The winter season, in contrast, is distinguished by extreme dryness. From December to February, precipitation falls very rarely — on average only 1 to 3 days per month. Given that the average temperature during this period drops below zero (in January to -5.9°C, and at night down to -12.3°C), the scarce precipitation falls as snow. However, due to low humidity, a stable and deep snow cover does not always form.

Spring and autumn in Xinzhou are transitional periods. In April and May, the number of rainy days gradually increases to 7 per month, preparing nature for summer. September and October mark a decline in humidity: the number of days with precipitation decreases from 8 to 7, and by November the weather becomes significantly drier. Travellers planning a visit in summer should definitely take an umbrella, whereas in winter, protection from the dry cold is more important.

When preparing for a trip to Xinzhou, it is important to consider the distinct seasonality of the local climate. Winters here are cold and dry, temperatures often drop below zero, so warm clothing is mandatory. You will need a high-quality down jacket or insulated parka, thermal underwear, a hat, a scarf, and gloves. Since there is practically no precipitation in winter and late autumn, but wind is possible, it is worth ensuring you have items made of dense, windproof fabrics.

Summer in the region is quite comfortable and not exhaustingly hot: the average daytime temperature usually does not exceed +27°C. However, July and August are the times when it rains most often (up to 15 rainy days per month), so a light raincoat, waterproof shoes, or a compact umbrella should be in your suitcase. For summer walks, choose breathable fabrics, but be sure to bring a light cardigan in case of a cool evening.

Spring and autumn in Xinzhou are characterised by changeable weather, so the best principle for wardrobe selection is layering. This will allow you to easily remove or put on items, adapting to temperature changes throughout the day. Regardless of the season, be sure to bring comfortable flat shoes for long walks, as well as sunscreen and sunglasses, which will come in handy on clear days.
