More Cities Weather in August
Hi Celine,
According to average weather data in the past 10 years, August is in the rainy season for Beijing. The rainfall reaches 13mm in August. We can't predict whether it may rain or not for specific dates, I suggest that you check it 3-7 days before for more exact information. Also an umbrella always works to avoid rain or heat in hot summers.
Definitely yes. Take some T-shirts and shorts. A long sleeved coat is optional, better water-proof. Take an umbrella in case of rain. Btw, sun cream is strongly recommended at this time of year.
Hello Bob,
Thanks for pointing out the mistakes on our website. In August, the weather in Beijin is very hot with rare rainfall, but in the end of the month, it will get cooler in early morning and evening.
We are now trying to find better data for our weather page, and will update it as soon as we have it. If not, we will delete this section of the weather page.
If you need weather information about cities in China, please send us emails (service@chinahighlights.com), we will send you the correct information. Thank you!

Hi Daniel,
I'm Kevin Ma from China Highlights. Beijing will be hot in July, due to the high temprature, i think you should wear sleeveless clothes and drink a lot of water.
