Climate:

Beijing and Hebei provinces experience a rather broad temperature range throughout the year. In late spring (May) the weather is mild to warm with the possibility of some showers. In late summer, early autumn trips (August to September) expect warm to hot days with temperatures up to 25-30C (77-86F) and a slight chance of rain. 
During October the days are mild and dry, from 15-20C (59-68F), and nights are cooler. After mid-October there is increasingly a cooler (but not cold) westerly wind, which lowers temperatures, particularly at night. The days, however, remain mild. Sometimes, in October, a cold wave from Siberia may cause overnight temperatures to plunge below freezing for a day or so, but the days are mild. In Beijing in late
summer the days may be hot, up to 30C (86F) but it is more likely to be quite pleasant. Rain can occur at any time but is more likely in spring (March-May). You must pack a waterproof jacket with hood for all departures.
