Tianjin Climate

Tianjin is located in the northern temperate zone, on the eastern coast of the Eurasian continent at mid-latitudes. It is primarily influenced by the monsoon circulation, where the East Asian monsoon prevails, and has a warm temperate semi-humid monsoon climate. Located near the Bohai Bay, Tianjin's maritime climate significantly influences the city. Its main climate features four distinct seasons: windy spring with little rain; hot summer with concentrated rainfall; cool autumn with moderate temperatures; and cold, dry winter with little snow. Therefore, late spring, early summer, and autumn are the best seasons to visit Tianjin. The winter half of the year is dominated by northwesterly winds, resulting in lower temperatures and less precipitation. The summer half of the year sees a strengthening of the Pacific subtropical warm high pressure, resulting in predominantly southerly winds, higher temperatures, and more precipitation. Spring droughts can occur occasionally. Tianjin's average annual temperature is approximately 14°C, with July being the hottest month at 28°C; the highest temperature ever recorded is 41.6°C. January is the coldest month, with an average temperature of -2°C; the lowest temperature ever recorded is -17.8°C. The average annual precipitation is between 360 and 970 mm, with an average of around 600 mm (from 1949 to 2010).
