Shanxi faces a cooler week after mild highs, 2026-11-11
Yangquan is Shanxi's warmest city at 16.6°C, compared with a coolest-city high of 10.2°C in Datong. The spread between those daytime readings is 6.4°C, enough to make location an important part of clothing choices. Jincheng is close to the warm end at 16.2°C. Conditions are sunny in these cities, while Linfen is cloudy. Across the province, the overall low reaches -11°C, presenting a much colder overnight picture than the daytime highs alone suggest.
Temperatures ease by about 6.7°C over the seven-day period. The highest daytime reading during that span is 18.5°C, while the lowest high is 9.9°C, putting the cooling trend in clear contrast with the mildest conditions. A warm outer layer is a practical choice for early starts and later outings. Keep daytime layers adjustable rather than dressing solely for the warmest city high, particularly when travelling between locations with different afternoon temperatures or remaining outdoors as the day cools.
