Daqing has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dwa), with very cold, dry winters and warm to hot summers. It receives most of its precipitation in the warm season, while winter is long, sunny, and severely cold, which is consistent with northeastern China’s continental climate pattern. The current cool, cloudy weather is typical of variable spring conditions, but long-term averages are much colder in winter and warmer in summer.
