China's temperature divide stays wide on 2026-11-11

Hainan leads China's provincial regions with a high of 32.1°C, while Heilongjiang is coolest at 6.8°C. The gap between the warmest and coolest regions is 25.3°C, putting the national mean high of 18.8°C in perspective. Taiwan follows Hainan at 27.2°C, with Guangdong reaching 25.8°C. The national average therefore sits well below the leading highs, rather than describing conditions evenly across the country.

Rain is confined to Yunnan in the provincial outlook, while the seven-day national trend is toward slightly lower daytime temperatures, with the mean high easing to 17.7°C. Regional changes are more pronounced than that modest national shift suggests. Yunnan warms by 9.9°C and Guangxi by 7.1°C over the period. In contrast, Jilin cools by 9.1°C, while Beijing falls by 7.9°C.

At city level, Sanya in Hainan reaches 32.1°C, making lightweight daytime clothing a practical choice. Dongfang and Ledong also remain warm, with highs of 30.3°C and 30.1°C respectively. The contrast with Heilongjiang is sharp: Hegang's high is -5.2°C, and Heihe reaches only -2.2°C. Warm clothing is the more suitable choice in those cities, even during the daytime.

Large day–night differences call for clothing that can be adjusted rather than chosen for the afternoon alone. Datong has the widest range at 21.2°C, moving between a high of 10.2°C and a low of -11°C. Fuxin also has a substantial swing of 20.6°C. Keep a warmer layer available for the colder end of the day in these cities.

China in November: heating season north, still mild south

November is the start of winter in the north. The Northeast hovers around 0°C by day and below minus 10°C at night, with Harbin under steady snow cover from mid-month; the North China Plain sees 5 to 12°C, central heating switches on around the 15th, and calm spells bring fog and haze.

The Yangtze basin is in late autumn at 10 to 18°C, pleasant in sunshine and distinctly damp-cold in rain. The far south and Hainan stay between 20 and 28°C, the most comfortable region of the month and the opening of Hainan's tourist season. Yunnan and Guangxi are sunny and dry as well.
