Beijing Weather in March

Beijing's weather in March is very changeable, as the transitional period from the cold winter to the warm spring. The temperature rises and falls frequently and sharply, with a big difference between day time and night time. The climate is still dry and windy this month, so there is a big possibility of sandstorms. Cold air sometimes attacks the city especially in early and mid March.

Heating is usually turned off everywhere on March 15th. Thereafter, people may have to bear one or two weeks' coldness until the end of the month when the weather warms up rapidly.

What to Wear in Beijing in March

The unstable weather may leave people more susceptible to illness, so it’s advisable to wear appropriate clothing. Always take spare clothes when going out in case the weather changes. Generally, a sweater and a thick jacket are enough in early March, but take an extra outer layer, gloves and hat as well in case you encounter any unexpected strong winds and a sharp fall in temperature. If coming in late March, a thin sweater plus a light windproof jacket will be adequate.
