The climate of Hohhot (China)
Hohhot is the capital of the Mongolian autonomous region and is
located in the northern part of China. Hohhot is surrounded by
mountains. On one side the big blue mountains and on the other side
the Hetao plateau. The surroundings mainly consist of grasslands.
These unique grasslands are a Unesco world heritage site and are the
largest attraction in the region. Tourists can go for a walk here, go
mountaineering, horseback riding and become acquainted with the
Mongolian way of life. Because of its situation on the leeward side
Hohhot has a cold steppe climate. This type of climate can be seen as
a transitional climate between a desert climate and a tropical
rainforest climate. Winters are long, cold and dry. Summers are warm
and wet. Most precipitation falls during the summer. Winters are so
dry that sand storms are not uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
