Our Lhasa tour coordinator Dayang (扎央）said, “it’s coooooooold in here”, while I am sitting here, typing this at my porch in Southern California home with short sleeves, with temperature in, I’ll say, about 20 degree Celsius.

Weather forecasts show that the temperature in Tibet will range from ten degree below zero to six degree Celsius for the next few days.

A snow storm hit Beijing on Sunday. The Capital Airport was covered with heavy snow, with only one of the three runways safe for operation, causing delays of flights to/from Beijing. There is one flight daily from Beijing to Lhasa, which was delayed for one and half hours on Sunday. Flights were resumed normal on Monday.

If you are heading to Tibet, dress warmly.
