Beijing's spring brings rapid temperature shifts, dry, windy weather, and limited rainfall. Subsolar point movement and mid-latitude circulation changes create unstable conditions, with increased cyclonic activity and more windy days. Spring sees 10% of annual rainfall, but high evaporation rates lead to dry conditions, known as "spring drought."
