The city table is deliberately kept visible because local variation is often more useful than a single province label. In the latest sample, 10 monitored locations are at or above 28°C, 0 are below 10°C, 2 show rain, thunder, sleet, or snow signals, and 0 report wind at or above 6 m/s.
山西省 readings are strongly shaped by elevation and plateau terrain. Daytime sunshine can raise temperatures quickly, but nights often cool faster than nearby lowland provinces, so high-low ranges are worth checking on this page.
Seasonally, this North China pattern often means dry, windy spring transitions, hot summer afternoons, clear autumn cooling, and cold dry winter nights. When reading the 7-day bars, watch for fast day-to-day swings after fronts rather than assuming a smooth temperature trend.
DaTong
DaTong: the current reading is 29.7°C, the weather label is Light Rain, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the day leans warm, making queues, transit walks, and scenic-area walking feel hotter than the number alone; the weather label carries a precipitation signal, so rain gear, slick surfaces, and indoor alternatives are worth planning. public map data places the local center near 40.09°N, 113.3°E; nearby public place-title signals include 大同鼓楼, 大同纯阳宫, and 四牌楼, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Recent public travel notes commonly frame Datong as a mix of old-city walks and longer heritage outings. Around the Drum Tower, Sipailou, Chunyang Palace, and Guandi Temple, visitors can plan a compact urban route, while grottoes and outer temples are better kept as separate half-day or day trips with transfer time. Datong’s basin-and-plateau setting often brings noticeable wind and day-night temperature swings. Use calm, clear mornings or evenings for old-city strolling, and keep exposed sites for stable weather windows. If showers or stronger winds are likely, shift to temples, museums, or covered stops, and carry sun protection, a light layer, and a small umbrella.
JinCheng
JinCheng: the current reading is 34°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the day leans warm, making queues, transit walks, and scenic-area walking feel hotter than the number alone. public map data places the local center near 35.5°N, 112.85°E; nearby public place-title signals include 怀覃会馆, 晋城博物馆, and 碧落寺, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Recent public travel signals for Jincheng emphasize its old-city heritage, museums, and historic architecture. A practical short route can link Jincheng Museum, Huaitan Guild Hall, and Fucheng Yuhuang Temple, with Biluo Temple added if time and transport allow. Jincheng’s plateau-and-valley setting can bring noticeable temperature shifts, breezy afternoons, and occasional rain changes. Use clear, mild periods for walking between heritage sites and photography; when wind or rain increases, shift the schedule toward museums, guild halls, and shorter outdoor stops.
JinZhong
JinZhong: the current reading is 29.4°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the day leans warm, making queues, transit walks, and scenic-area walking feel hotter than the number alone. public map data places the local center near 37.7°N, 112.74°E; nearby public place-title signals include 榆次城隍庙, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Jinzhong is often planned around historic 山西省 culture, with travelers linking Yuci Old Town and Chenghuang Temple with well-known heritage stops such as Pingyao and traditional merchant courtyards. Recent guide-style signals focus on old architecture, Jin merchant history, and practical routing between the urban area and nearby counties, making a slow two- or three-day itinerary sensible. Jinzhong’s plateau-and-river-valley setting can bring noticeable day-night temperature changes and breezy conditions. Check hourly forecasts before setting out: use clear, mild periods for old streets, courtyards, and outdoor viewpoints; shorten time in exposed areas when winds rise; and shift rainy hours toward temples, museums, shops, or covered historic blocks.
LinFen
LinFen: the current reading is 38.3°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the heat signal is strong, so shade, hydration, and shorter exposed outdoor stops matter. public map data places the local center near 36.08°N, 111.52°E; nearby public place-title signals include 铁佛寺 and 临汾博物馆, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Linfen is a practical base for exploring southern 山西省’s history, with city stops such as Tiefo Temple, Linfen Museum, and the old urban core linking well with wider heritage routes. Recent public guide signals highlight its Pingyang history, walkable civic spaces, and nearby cultural sites, making it suitable for a relaxed one- or two-day itinerary. Linfen’s weather reflects both plateau influence and Fen River valley conditions, so check temperature range, wind, and rain together. On sunny hot days, schedule outdoor streets, temples, and riverside walks for morning or late afternoon, leaving museums for midday. If showers or stronger winds are forecast, favor indoor stops and keep plans flexible.
LvLiang
LvLiang: the current reading is 36.6°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the heat signal is strong, so shade, hydration, and shorter exposed outdoor stops matter. public map data places the local center near 37.52°N, 111.13°E; nearby public place-title signals include 安国寺, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Lvliang travel planning often centers on its mountain setting, Yellow River-side routes, and scattered cultural stops around the city and counties. If visiting Anguo Temple, pair it with a compact urban stop or a short countryside route, and allow extra time because attractions can be spread out across valleys and upland roads. Lvliang’s plateau-and-valley pattern can bring noticeable morning-evening temperature swings and stronger wind in open passes than in built-up areas. Check hourly forecasts before setting out: use calm, clear periods for walking and viewpoints, shorten exposed outdoor stops on windy days, and keep indoor cultural sites or local dining as rainy-day alternatives.
ShuoZhou
ShuoZhou: the current reading is 24.7°C, the weather label is Light Rain, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the temperature is in a broadly workable range, though shade, evening timing, and open exposed areas can still feel different; the weather label carries a precipitation signal, so rain gear, slick surfaces, and indoor alternatives are worth planning. public map data places the local center near 39.33°N, 112.43°E; nearby public place-title signals include 崇福寺, 马邑博物馆, and 朔州市博物馆, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Shuozhou is often planned as a northern 山西省 stop combining frontier history, local museums, and old urban landmarks. In the city, Chongfu Temple, Mayi Museum, and Shuozhou Museum make a practical cultural route. With extra time, travelers can extend to surrounding counties for historic sites and open northern landscapes. Shuozhou’s plateau-and-valley setting can bring noticeable wind and day-night temperature swings. On clear days, schedule outdoor temple and old-town walks earlier, then use museums or cafés during stronger afternoon sun. If rain or gusty conditions are likely, favor indoor exhibits, shorten exposed walks, and leave extra time for local transport.
TaiYuan
TaiYuan: the current reading is 28.1°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the day leans warm, making queues, transit walks, and scenic-area walking feel hotter than the number alone. public map data places the local center near 37.86°N, 112.55°E; nearby public place-title signals include 南宫广场, 山西省京剧院, and 山西省电力勘测设计院, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Taiyuan’s central route works well as a compact urban stop, with Nangong Square, the 山西省 Peking Opera Theatre, and the Children’s Palace offering useful public-place anchors. Around Yingze-area streets, visitors can mix short walks, transit hops, cultural venues, and casual neighborhood pauses without needing a long-distance itinerary. Taiyuan sits in a plateau-and-river-valley setting, so wind and day-to-night temperature swings can change comfort quickly. Use mild, calmer periods for square walks and nearby street exploration. If rain chances rise or winds feel strong, shift time indoors at performance or youth-culture venues, and carry a light extra layer for evenings.
XinZhou
XinZhou: the current reading is 28.6°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the day leans warm, making queues, transit walks, and scenic-area walking feel hotter than the number alone. public map data places the local center near 38.42°N, 112.73°E; no stable nearby public place-title result was found, so this note focuses on the weather reading and same-province comparisons. Latest guide observation: Recent travel interest around Xinzhou often centers on Mount Wutai, Yanmen Pass, and Xinzhou Ancient City. A practical route can mix mountain temples, Great Wall-era passes, and evening old-town walks. Because the municipality spans valleys and higher terrain, allow extra time for transfers and temperature changes between stops. For Xinzhou, plan with both plateau and valley conditions in mind. Check hourly forecasts for your exact destination, especially elevation, wind, and rain timing. Sunny days can feel dry and bright, while passes and ridges may be windier. If showers are possible, schedule hikes and pass walks during stable windows and keep old-town or museum time as a backup.
YangQuan
YangQuan: the current reading is 28.4°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the day leans warm, making queues, transit walks, and scenic-area walking feel hotter than the number alone. public map data places the local center near 37.86°N, 113.58°E; no stable nearby public place-title result was found, so this note focuses on the weather reading and same-province comparisons. Latest guide observation: Recent public travel signals for Yangquan highlight compact city travel, nearby historical sites, and mountain-valley scenery. Travelers often pair urban transport with short trips to places such as Niangziguan or Cangshan, plus local food stops. The city works well for a focused one- or two-day itinerary with some preplanned local transfers. Yangquan sits in eastern 山西省 where uplands and valleys can make temperatures and wind feel different across the day. Check the forecast for temperature range, gusts, and rain chance before setting out. Clear, calm periods suit gates, hills, and scenic walks; windy or wet spells are better for city dining, museums, and shorter indoor plans.
YunCheng
YunCheng: the current reading is 37.8°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the heat signal is strong, so shade, hydration, and shorter exposed outdoor stops matter. public map data places the local center near 35.02°N, 111°E; nearby public place-title signals include 运城关王庙, 太平兴国寺塔, and 泛舟禅师塔, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Recent travel interest around Yuncheng often highlights Guan Yu heritage, salt-lake scenery, and historic towers or temples. A practical short route can link Yuncheng Guanwang Temple, Taiping Xingguo Temple Pagoda, and Fanzhou Chanshi Pagoda. With more time, extend toward the salt lake, Xiezhou, or Yongji for broader Hedong and Yellow River culture. Yuncheng sits between plateau terrain and river valleys, so sunshine, wind, and day-night temperature changes can shape the day. Check the high temperature, afternoon wind, and rain chance before setting out. In hot clear weather, visit outdoor heritage sites early or late; if wind or showers are likely, favor temples, museums, and sheltered stops.
ZhangZhi
ZhangZhi: the current reading is 32.1°C, the weather label is Sunny, and wind is around 3.3 m/s. the day leans warm, making queues, transit walks, and scenic-area walking feel hotter than the number alone. public map data places the local center near 36.19°N, 113.11°E; nearby public place-title signals include 潞安府城隍庙, 捉马昭泽王庙, and 长治市博物馆, which can help readers think about outdoor stops, rain alternatives, and wind or humidity exposure. Latest guide observation: Changzhi sits in the Shangdang Basin, where heritage sites and Taihang landscapes are often combined in travel plans. The Lu’an Prefecture City God Temple and Changzhi Museum work well for local history, while nearby counties add canyon roads, old villages, and mountain scenery. Plateau-and-valley conditions can bring noticeable day-night temperature swings, gusty periods, and localized showers. On clear days, plan temple streets and Taihang viewpoints earlier in the day. If rain or stronger wind is expected, shift more time to museums, historic halls, and sheltered stops.
