Temperate monsoon climate moderated by the Yellow Sea. Summers (June–August) are warm and humid at 24–30°C with monsoon rainfall; Qingdao is cooler and breezier than inland Shandong cities. Sea fog (known locally as pinglu) is a significant disruption risk from April through July, frequently reducing visibility at the coast and occasionally affecting the airport.
Winters (December–February) are cold and dry at −4 to 5°C, with occasional snow from continental air masses. Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant. The sea fog season (spring–early summer) is the primary driver of delays unique to Qingdao compared with other Chinese airports.
