Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

The winter weather in Tianjin can be especially chilly at times, with the Siberian anticyclone playing an important part in these low temperatures, which hover around freezing by day in December and January, becoming frosty at night. However, by the time March and April arrive, the climate in Tianjin begins to warm up a great deal, with daytime highs approaching 20°C / 68°F.

The hot summers in Tianjin regularly experience highs of 32°C / 90°F, from June to August. However, due to periodic rain showers and summer storms this can result in the climate feeling rather muggy and humid at times.
