Beijing turns cooler after sunny highs on 2026-11-12
Haidian has Beijing’s highest daytime temperature at 17.6°C, while Tongzhou is coolest at 13.7°C. The spread between the warmest and coolest city highs is 3.9°C, a relatively modest difference across the area. Shunyi and Huairou are also among the warmer locations, with sunny weather in both. Sunshine is also reported in the cooler locations of Mentougou and Yanqing, so the contrast in daytime temperatures comes within broadly similar weather conditions.
The seven-day outlook turns cooler, with temperatures falling by about 7.4°C overall. Highs range from a weekly peak of 17.6°C to a lowest high of 9.2°C, making the later cooling more important for clothing choices than today’s mildest readings alone suggest. Beijing’s lowest temperature is -3.7°C. Wear layers that can be adjusted during sunny daytime hours, and keep a warmer outer layer for the colder conditions rather than dressing only for the afternoon high.
