Weather and Climate at XAFA

Xi'an, where Xi'an Academy of Fine Art is located, experiences a continental monsoon climate. The city has distinct seasons:

• Spring (March to May): Temperatures range from 10°C to 20°C. This season can be quite dusty due to sandstorms from the north.
• Summer (June to August): Hot and humid with temperatures often exceeding 30°C. Rainfall is significant, with occasional heavy downpours and thunderstorms.
• Autumn (September to November): Cooler temperatures ranging from 10°C to 20°C. This is considered the best time to visit due to comfortable weather and fewer tourists.
• Winter (December to February): Cold and dry with temperatures often dropping below 0°C. Snowfall can occur but is usually light.

The weather can affect commuting and campus life at XAFA, with students and staff needing to prepare for both hot summers and cold winters. Outdoor activities and research might be limited during extreme weather conditions.
