Linyi's Climate
Linyi lies in southern Shandong province in eastern China, across a plain and low hills not far from the Yellow Sea coast. The city has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons. Summers (June–August) are hot and humid, driven by the southeast monsoon that brings frequent rain and thunderstorms, with highs typically 28–33°C, while winters (December–February) turn cold and dry under continental monsoon winds, with many days around 0–6°C and sub-zero nights. Spring and autumn are short but pleasant and dry, with autumn the finest season. Most of the year's rain falls in summer.
