Temperature mid April in Beijing

Anyone know average temp in Beijing around mid April ? I was wondering what clothes to pack. Thanks

In mid-April, Beijing is transitioning into spring, so the weather is generally mild but can be unpredictable. Average daytime temperatures usually range from 15°C to 22°C (59°F to 72°F), while nighttime temperatures can drop to 6°C–12°C (43°F–54°F). There may still be occasional cold spells or windy days, so layering is recommended.

Here are some tips on what to pack:

  • Light jackets or windbreakers – ideal for daytime excursions when it’s mild but breezy.
  • Long-sleeve shirts and T-shirts – good for layering under a jacket or sweater.
  • Sweaters or hoodies – useful for cooler mornings and evenings.
  • Comfortable walking shoes – Beijing has many historical sites and streets best explored on foot.
  • An umbrella or light raincoat – spring can bring occasional showers.

Additional considerations:

  • Sun protection – sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended, as spring sun can be strong, especially around the Forbidden City or the Great Wall.
  • Scarf or light gloves – optional but useful on windy or chilly days.
  • Layering is key – mornings and evenings can be cool, but afternoons may feel quite warm in the sun.

Overall, packing a combination of light layers, a jacket, and comfortable shoes will allow you to adapt to Beijing’s variable spring temperatures and enjoy your sightseeing comfortably.
