Semi-arid continental climate in the Wei River valley. Winters are cold (−5 to 5°C, November–February) with frequent fog in the valley. Xi'an is prone to persistent winter fog that reduces visibility for days at a time, causing delays and diversions. Dust and haze are common in spring (March–May) as sandstorms from the northwest reduce air quality and visibility.
Summers are hot (30–38°C, June–August) with occasional thunderstorms. Autumn (September–October) is the clearest season with moderate temperatures (10–22°C). Air pollution combined with weather inversions creates the worst visibility conditions in winter. Winter connections should account for this.
