Following a joint assessment by Beijing's meteorological authorities, it is forecast that from March 16 to 20, the average daily outdoor temperature in Beijing (except for Yanqing District) will range between 7°C and 9°C. In accordance with the Heating Management Measures of Beijing Municipality (北京市供热采暖管理办法), the city's heating service has officially ended at 24:00 on March 15 (excluding Yanqing District).

Below are some tips for the days after the service ended.

It's important to adjust your clothing according to the weather conditions. Promptly check the connections and valves of your home's heating system for any leak. If you spot an issue, contact your heating service provider for repairs immediately. Do not attempt to disassemble any part yourself to prevent any water leakage incident. It is recommended to shut off the indoor valves for supplying and controlling water to keep the system filled with water, which can extend the lifespan of your heating equipment. If you plan to replace or modify your radiators, it is advised to contact your heating service provider in advance.
