Zibo's Climate
Zibo lies in central Shandong province in the inland part of eastern China, with a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate and four distinct seasons. Summers (June–August) are hot and humid, usually 29–34°C, with showers and thunderstorms concentrated as the southeast monsoon draws in moist air, and occasional heavy rain. Winters (December–February) are cold and dry, with dry northerly winds, many sub-zero days and very little rain or snow. Spring and autumn are short but pleasant, with autumn the driest, clearest and loveliest time of year. Spring can occasionally bring dust haze blown in from the north.
