What to wear and bring in Harbin in May?

Early May

Harbin's early May mornings are cool (around 5-10°C). Afternoons get mild with temperatures up to 20°C. Wear a light jacket over a long-sleeved shirt. Bring a thin sweater for evenings. Waterproof shoes are needed for rain. Air stays clean (AQI 14-81), but sunglasses are good on sunny days. Don't wear thick clothes because it gets hot at noon.

Mid-May

Days warm up to 15–25°C in mid-May, but nights stay cool (8–12°C). Wear light cotton or linen clothes. A light cardigan or denim jacket helps when it gets chilly. Carry a small umbrella for sudden rain. Wear sneakers or loafers instead of heavy boots. Use sunscreen because the sun gets stronger.

Late May

Late May feels almost like summer (18–28°C), but evenings stay cool (10–15°C). Wear short sleeves or dresses. Bring a thin shawl for breezy nights. Light pants or skirts are comfy. Don't wear clothes that make you hot. Carry a small raincoat because short storms might happen. Sandals are okay, but closed-toe shoes are better in crowded places.

Key Tips

Pack layered clothing because temperatures vary from 5°C to 28°C.
Wear shirts that dry quickly during sweaty walks.
Carry a water bottle when afternoons are dry.
Choose padded shoes for long walking trips.
