Based on the live forecast above, Shenyang is experiencing conditions typical of its continental monsoon climate — cold, dry winters and warm, humid summers. The city sits in northeast China’s Liaoning province, inland from the Bohai Sea, so temperature swings are more pronounced than on the coast.
What drives Shenyang’s seasonal weather?
Shenyang’s weather is shaped by the Siberian high in winter and the East Asian monsoon in summer. January averages around –12°C, with frequent snow and biting winds. By July the mercury climbs to about 24°C, accompanied by heavy rain from the monsoon. Spring and autumn are short, transitional seasons with rapid temperature changes.
