Shanxi’s sunny warmth gives way to cooling from 2026-11-12
Yangquan records Shanxi’s highest daytime temperature at 18.4°C, compared with 11.4°C in Datong, the coolest city. The spread is 7°C, a substantial difference for daytime clothing choices within the province. Both cities report sunshine despite their contrasting temperatures. Jincheng and Linfen are also among the warmer locations, with cloudy conditions in each. Shuozhou and Xinzhou join Datong at the cooler end, both under sunny skies, so sunshine alone does not distinguish the warmer cities from the cooler ones.
Temperatures ease by about 5.6°C over the seven-day period. The weekly peak high is 18.9°C and the lowest high is 10°C, indicating a cooler outlook than the warmest readings suggest. Shanxi’s lowest temperature falls to -8.2°C. Use layers that can be removed in the milder daytime conditions, but keep a warm outer layer for colder hours and avoid basing clothing choices solely on Yangquan’s afternoon warmth.
