April weather forecast
China

April in China signifies the full arrival of spring, marked by increasing temperatures and progressively heavier rainfall, particularly in the southeastern parts of the country.

In the northern regions, the increase in temperatures continues from March. Beijing experiences average temperatures from 8°C (46.4°F) to 20°C (68°F), further solidifying the shift from the harsh winter experienced in the previous months. Harbin, in the northeast, also witnesses similar warming trends, indicating the spring season's firm establishment.

The southern parts of the country, including Guangzhou, experience more significant rises in temperature. The mercury ranges from 19°C (66.2°F) to 25°C (77°F), signifying the gradual transition towards summer. In the high-altitude southwestern province of Yunnan, temperatures remain comfortable, slightly rising from the previous month.

April sees a further increase in precipitation, especially in the southeastern regions, where the rainfall significantly outweighs that of the previous months. However, these levels are still lower than those expected in the impending monsoon season.

In the high-altitude regions, the thawing continues. Mount Everest, for example, sees an uptick in temperatures, although they still range from a frigid -16.9°C (1.6°F) to -31.2°C (-24.2°F). This thawing leads to a further decrease in snowfall compared to March, signalling the end of the heavy snowfall season.
