Beijing in July Beijing's rainy season. Most of the year's rain arrives in July and August, in sudden showers after clear spells. It is sticky, and being outdoors at midday is tough. Bring an umbrella and a thin rain jacket, and leave extra time to get around.
July brought serious heat to Beijing, 32°C on a typical afternoon and 23°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. About 9 days a month saw rain, enough that a wet-weather plan was worth having. A visitor in 2014 met 5 rain days; one in 2021 met 17. The average of 9 hid that gap.
Daylight lasted 14.3 to 15.0 hours a day, so evenings stayed bright. Highs topped 30°C on 22 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense. Each rainy day brought about 21 mm, closer to downpours than drizzle.
