Qingdao's Climate
Qingdao is a port city on the Yellow Sea in Shandong province, northeastern China, with a temperate monsoon climate strongly moderated by the ocean. Thanks to that maritime influence, summers (June–August) are warm and humid but milder than inland, usually 25–29°C and often shrouded in sea fog, while winters (December–February) are cold, dry and windy, hovering around 0–5°C yet rarely as harsh as cities further north. Spring arrives late and brings thick fog, whereas autumn (September–November) is dry, crisp and cool, the finest time of year. Rain falls mostly in summer.
