welcome to your mother Basically, the Tibetan climate is not as harsh as many people imagine it to be. The best time of year to be in Tibet is from April to the beginning of November, after which temperatures start to plummet.

The central Tibet, including Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Tsedang, generally has very mild weather from April to November, though July and August can be rainy - these two months usually see around half of Tibet's annual rainfall.

October and November often bring some dazzling clear weather and daytime temperatures can be quite comfortable at Tibet's lower altitude.

The coldest months are from December to February. It is not impossible to visit Tibet in winter. The low altitude valleys of Tibet (around Lhasa, Shigatse and Tsedang) see very little snow.

Spring does not really get under way until April, though March can have warm sunny days and is not necessarily a bad month to be in Tibet. More specific information in different areas:

Lhasa - the border of Nepal/China: The Friendship highway is basically in good conditions year around. But from December to February, the thawed road could make some trouble Besides, try to avoid August - landslide could happen in the rainy season.

Mt. Everest Region: Early May and early October are the best time to visit Mt. Everest. Due to the clear weather, you have great chance to see Mt. Everest's true face. From December to February, it's too cold to go to this region. But the magnetism of Mt. Everest always attracts people anytime of the year.

Ali (Mt.Kailash): Even without climate restrictions, this area is already inhospitable. Big rain and snow could make the journey worse. However, for those determined tourists, the appropriate time is May, June, July, September and October.

Eastern Tibet: Don't touch this area in July or August, the rain could ruin the road, and make terrible landslides. While in winter, the road could be frozen.

Northern Tibet: With the average altitude of 4,500m, this area offers very limited time for tourists. Summer is the prime time to enjoy the great plain in northern Tibet.

What is the best way to describe the climate of China?

China is a large country it has many different climate regions from tropical to four-season, monsoon-influenced, humid continental climate to continental arid climate


What are the climate features?

Climate features refer to the long-term patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind in a particular region. These features can vary based on factors such as latitude, altitude, proximity to water bodies, and prevailing wind patterns. Understanding climate features is important for predicting weather patterns and studying the overall climate of a region.


What climate patterns are found in china?

China exhibits a diverse range of climate patterns due to its vast size and varied topography. The northern regions experience a temperate continental climate, characterized by cold winters and hot summers, while the southern areas have a humid subtropical climate with mild winters and hot, humid summers. The western part, including the Tibetan Plateau, features an alpine climate with significant variations in temperature and precipitation. Additionally, the eastern coastal regions are influenced by monsoons, leading to distinct wet and dry seasons.


What does moderating climate mean?

Moderating climate refers to the ability of certain geographical features, such as oceans or mountains, to influence and stabilize local temperatures. These features can help to regulate temperature extremes by absorbing or releasing heat, creating a more temperate climate in an area.


Physical geography of china?

China's physical geography is diverse, with landscapes ranging from mountains and plateaus in the west to plains and deltas in the east. Major physical features include the Tibetan Plateau, the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert, and the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. China's geography has influenced its climate, agriculture, and settlement patterns throughout history.
