On October 8, the first workday following the National Day holiday, Beijing experienced beautiful, sunny skies with temperatures peaking at 23°C. However, as night approached, clouds rolled in, causing temperatures to drop to a brisk 11°C. Given the considerable shift from day to night, locals are encouraged to use the “onion-style” layering technique to stay comfortable and avoid catching a chill.
Yesterday, the weather in Beijing was mostly sunny, and the temperature reached a pleasant 21.7°C around 4 PM, marking the unmistakable arrival of autumn.
This morning, Beijing woke up to noticeably cooler temperatures, adding to the crispness of the air. The Beijing Meteorological Station reported a forecast for today featuring a mix of sun and clouds, with a gentle north-to-south breeze of 2 to 3 levels and a high of 23°C. As evening falls, expect increased cloud cover, leading to a stark contrast between the daytime warmth and the cooler nighttime temperatures, which could drop to around 11°C.
Looking ahead, tomorrow will bring more clouds and there’s a chance of rain showers, especially in the mountainous regions. The day after that may see an even greater temperature swing, with lows possibly falling into single digits.
Meteorological authorities are urging residents to take advantage of today’s lovely weather for outdoor activities and travel. However, due to the potential for significant temperature changes throughout the day, it’s wise to dress warmly during the early mornings and evenings to avoid falling ill.
