Excerpt from The China Times Guide to Tientsin and Neighbourhood The climate of Tientsin, like that of all North China, is fine or fearful, according to the way one looks at it. The occasional dust-storms in Spring and Autumn are certainly disagreeable. As is also the short rainy season from the middle of July to the' middle of August. But the beautiful succession of bright sunshiny days of winter are a joy that one fails to remember only during the long hot days of mid-summer. The thermometer travels from about zero (32 degrees of frost) in January, when the rivers in North China are frozen over to a depth of about 13 inches, to 105 or no degrees in June or early July. It is an open question which of these extremes is the more beneficial to the foreigner's constitution._ Later in July, and in August, the presence of moisture in the air brings the temperature down to between 75 and 85 degrees. Mosquito curtains are necessary during this period. The rains usually last only a day or two at a time. During the rest of the year the local umbrella trade is stagnant.
