What changed

Beijing is expected to stay mostly sunny from November 9 to 11 as temperatures gradually rise. The forecast calls for a high of 12°C and a low of -3°C on November 9, a high of 15°C on November 10, and a low above freezing by November 11.

Why it matters

The sunshine will not mean warm mornings. Beijing is facing large day-night temperature swings, with early and late hours still hovering around freezing even as afternoons become milder.

That makes timing matter more than the forecast’s sunny headline. People heading out early or returning late will need extra layers, while dry conditions make regular hydration important. Heating also brings a practical risk: authorities are urging care with fire and electrical equipment. The forecast remains just that, so actual temperatures and local conditions may differ after publication.
