Temperature trends in Beijing from May 5 to 11

Due to wet weather, roads may become slippery during the peak return journey times. Drivers are advised to ensure vehicle safety, avoid fatigue or drunk driving, and always wear seat belts. Consider traveling during off-peak hours and avoiding heavily congested routes. For bus travelers, it is important to use only official bus stations and avoid unlicensed and unauthorized private vehicles. Travelers by trains or flights are reminded to confirm departure times in advance, allow sufficient time for check-in, security checks, and boarding procedures, and stay informed of any schedule changes.
