Xi'an Weather

With its mild climate and moderate rainfall, Xi’an has four distinct seasons. The spring is warm, mostly dry, and windy; the summer is hot and rainy, with occasional thunderstorms and gusty winds; autumn is cool, with the temperature falling rapidly when it rains; and the winter is cold and dry. Xi’an can be susceptible to occasional fog, but in general, due to its location in a more arid section of the country, it doesn’t rain or snow here as much as in many other cities.
