Beijing Travel Forum

I am going to Beijing 25 April to 2 May 09.
Wonder how the weather like around that 8 days. Still cold? wonder can we wear shorts rather than long pants?
TQ..

I was looking at the world weather and predictions in that part of world seems to be scattered clouds and possible precipitation -- it might still be cold during the night specially...so maybe stick to the pants? Or do you have those cargo pants with the zipped up bottom? I always have them when I travel...Have fun in Beijing, Norman :)

I'd say shorts if you are not going to mountainous area.
It's already warm enough for T-shirts and shorts now. It's just a little chilly at night, and it's a little windy sometimes. But at around the time you'll be here, it'll be pretty...warm.

Due to extreme climatic changes the World is experiencing at the moment, trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local, on the day variations.
Most places now are seeing weather conditions well outside the norm.
The information below should be used as a guide only.

Here is the average weather for Beijing for this time of year.
Enjoy your holiday.

Can't forecast so far into the future. But look on http://weather.msn.com/daily_averages.aspx?wealocations=wc:CHXX0008&weai=4 for historical weather data for April.

I was in BJ around mid May. The weather was good as far as temperature but it was somewhat windy. I have read both on VT and other internet sites that BJ sometimes have sandstorms in the spring. I think they will be over (if they have any this year) by the time you get there but someone from BJ should be able to give you additional information.
