August weather forecast
China

As August unfolds in China, the high summer temperatures persist, though there are signs of a gradual cooling towards the end of the month. The influence of the monsoonal rains also starts to wane, though precipitation remains substantial in several regions.

Northern regions, such as Beijing, still experience intense summer heat during August, with temperatures fluctuating between 21°C (69.8°F) and 30°C (86°F). However, by the end of the month, there are signs of an approaching autumn with slightly cooler evenings. Similar weather conditions are observed in Harbin, located in the northeast.

Southern China, including Guangzhou, continues to endure high summer temperatures, with values ranging from 25°C (77°F) to 31°C (87.8°F). Yunnan Province maintains a more temperate climate due to its high altitude, with temperatures oscillating between 15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F), making it a pleasant retreat from the heat that engulfs the majority of the country.

August also marks a subtle decrease in the monsoonal rains, signalling the onset of the retreating monsoon. While rainfall levels remain high in the southeastern regions, the overall precipitation across the country begins to lessen compared to the preceding months.

In the high-altitude regions, including Mount Everest, temperatures continue to stay below freezing, between -14.9°C (5.2°F) to -26.1°C (-15°F), but snowfall becomes less frequent.
