Although located at the eastern fringe of the Eurasia continent and bordering the Bohai Sea, Shijiazhuang is affected more by the winds from the inland Republic of Mongolia and Siberia in the far north. The city has a relatively moderate climate all year round, except for the occasional seasonal monsoon, and the even more infrequent summer heat waves. Generally speaking the best time to visit the city is in autumn when the heat is pleasant and the inclement weather (rain/wind/snow) has yet to settle in.
