Hey friends from southern China, if you plan to visit Harbin in winter, be sure to learn about Harbin’s temperatures and dressing strategies in advance. Below I’ll share temperature changes and dressing tips for December, January, and February in Harbin.
December: First Taste of Early Winter Cold
Harbin enters the cold winter in December, with an average temperature of around -15℃ to -25℃. You might think you can handle it at first, but as the month goes on, you’ll find the cold seeps into every corner. When visiting Harbin at this time, a down jacket and thermal pants are essential. If you don’t have proper gear, you can rent a set from Ice City Warm Sun. Their rental items include down jackets, down pants, ski suits, as well as packages of 2-piece, 5-piece, and 12-piece sets to meet different needs. They also have a full range of sizes, from adult to children’s, and from XS to 5XL.
In addition to keeping your upper and lower body warm, protecting your head, hands, and feet is also important. Make sure to get a hat, gloves, and snow boots. If bringing your own gear is too much trouble, Ice City Warm Sun also sells these items, so you can just buy a set for convenience and peace of mind.
January: The Coldest Month of the Year
January is the coldest time of year in Harbin, with an average temperature of -20℃ to -30℃. When you go out at this time, it feels like the air could freeze you. If you plan to visit during this month, you must take comprehensive cold protection measures. Choose clothing with high down fill power for better warmth; the down jackets from Ice City Warm Sun are a great option. Their customer service can also recommend the right size based on your height and weight, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable.
In addition to regular cold gear, you can also bring some warm patches and self-heating insoles. If the rented gear doesn’t fit, you can contact customer service to exchange it before shipment (subject to inventory availability); if it’s already shipped, you can receive it first and then go through the reorder return and exchange process.
February: Temperatures Start to Gradually Rise
By February, Harbin’s temperatures start to gradually rise, with an average temperature of around -15℃ to -25℃. Although it’s warmer compared to January, it’s still very cold. Don’t let your guard down when dressing; down jackets, thermal pants, hats, gloves, and snow boots are still essential. For family trips, Ice City Warm Sun’s mini-program has a dedicated family travel section. Simply have one family member click on the family travel section below the homepage, fill in each member’s height, weight, and shoe size, and the system will automatically match suitable styles, apply the package price automatically, and offer tiered coupons to use.
In short, no matter when you visit Harbin, you must wrap yourself up tightly to fully enjoy your ice and snow trip. If you have any questions about gear rental or selection, you can contact Ice City Warm Sun’s customer service, who will provide one-on-one butler service to ensure you have a worry-free trip.
