Climate Chart of Shenyang, China

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures are lowest in January, at -9.7 °C, and highest in July, at 25.5 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, and do not indicate the range visitors might encounter from day to day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 9.2 °C. It provides a broad summary, but is not a day-weighted annual average and cannot replace the month-specific figures when planning for a particular visit.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high in August, at 5.52 mm/day, while the lowest monthly mean is in January, at 0.02 mm/day. These are daily averages rather than monthly totals; the low figure does not guarantee dry days or show how frequently rain occurs. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.88 mm/day. It offers an overall reference, but a visitor’s experience can differ from that average, so it is useful to prepare for rainfall rather than treat the monthly mean as a forecast.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in November, at 2.55 mm/day. This records an average amount, not the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover or whether conditions support skiing. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-snowfall means is 0.78 mm/day. It provides a broad comparison across the calendar months, but cannot establish when snow will fall during an individual trip.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in June, at 10.11 hours/day, and lowest in November, at 6.94 hours/day. These averages can help with planning outdoor time, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear conditions on a given day. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine-duration means is 8.76 hours/day per day. This is a broad reference for the period, not a promise of the sunshine available during any particular visit.
