Beijing in February Lunar New Year falls in late January or February. The date follows the lunar calendar and changes every year, so check it before you plan. The weather stays cold and dry. Heating runs until mid-March, so indoors are warm.
Cold, plain and simple: highs of 6°C, lows of −4°C. Warm cafes and museums earned their keep. The temperature swung about 11°C within a single day, so midday and evening called for different clothes. It stayed mostly dry, with 2 rain days on average. February was bone dry in 6 of 20 years, yet 2020 brought 5 rain days.
27 nights a month dropped below freezing on average. Gloves earned their place for early starts. February 2007 averaged 10.4°C by day, 4.1°C above the 20-year mean. The coldest night came in 2006, at −13.8°C.

One row per year, one cell per day. 2007 had 0 rain days, 2011 had 4.
What to pack A wool coat or padded jacket, a scarf and closed shoes did the job. Dress for 6°C by day; after dark at −4°C the scarf earned its keep. With an 11°C swing between day and night, dress in layers you can peel off at two in the afternoon and put back on at dusk.
With so few rain days, comfortable walking shoes mattered more than a rain jacket.
