Autumn in Beijing

As a general rule, every time after it rains, the skies in Beijing clear up.

And now that it's fall, the temperatures seem to drop each time as well.

Last night after several weeks of smoggy, then grayish skies, it rained quite hard.

This morning I snapped this picture (unfiltered) showing clear blue skies.

Temperatures now are around 14-17 degrees Celsius, and lows of 2 and 3 degrees. It's the wind that makes it chillier.

Last year I remember still being able to wear my jean jacket until the end of October. Alas! Not so anymore.
