Yearly Weather for Qinhuangdao, Hebei, China

Qinhuangdao has a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate, with four distinct seasons. Winters are cold and dry due to the Siberian high, which can cause winds to blow in from the northwest, minimizing the oceanic influence: the monthly daily average temperature in January is -4.8 °C (23.4 °F), colder than Beijing's -3.7 °C (25.3 °F). Summers are hot and humid due to the East Asian Monsoon, often allowing onshore flows; summer is also when the location on the coast moderates the weather the most: the average high temperature in July here is 28.1 °C (83 °F), as compared to 30.9 °C (88 °F) in Beijing.
