Beijing in October Skies are at their bluest. National Day week starts on October 1 and attractions are at their most crowded. After the holiday it calms down, and the maples at Fragrant Hills start turning after mid-month, peaking from late October into early November. Mornings and evenings need a jacket.
Highs averaged 19°C and lows 9°C, an easy range for walking around all day. An 11°C gap between afternoon and night meant dressing twice: once for the day, once for after dark. Rain fell on only 3 days on average. October could skip rain entirely: 1 of 20 years had none, while 2007 had 7 rain days.
Nights fell below 5°C on 5 days on average. The warmest year was 2023, with highs averaging 22.2°C, 3.0°C above normal. The lowest night on record was −3.1°C in 2016.
