Visiting Beijing in last week of May'08

Hi, my family and I will be visiting Beijing for the first time. We are planning to come in the last week of May.

But people are telling me the weather will be hot and humid; not a good time to come. Plus there are sand storms...

Can someone advise if it is really that bad timing to go ???

Thanks.

Hot, yes. Humid, no more so than Singapore -- and it%26#39;s actually drier.

Sandstorms are usually in April, you should be clear of those by the last week of May.

In the summer is burning hot, in the winter is cold, Spring and Autumn Period%26#39;s climate is moderate 銆?/p>

Sandstorms are usually in April銆?/p>

Best traveling time is May 锛孲eptember and October 銆?/p>

norammly it%26#39;s not a bad idea to viist China in summer time

if wish to know the weather conition in advance

also can ckeci it by internet

what sandstorm?

i%26#39;m a local resident, never heard, no such thing.

Sanstorms: you know, when the sky turns orange and there is grit in the air?

It doesn%26#39;t happen that often, mostly in April, and plantings of trees around the city are supposed to help put an end to it.
