What is time & temperature?

Want to know what time it is in Beijing, Ürümqi or Guangzhou?  Care to find out how roasting hot we are in China?  You can click here for Beijing, and here for Ürümqi.

Beijing and Guangzhou are 12 hours AHEAD of EDT, so add 1/2 day if you're in Eastern time zone. 

Urumqi technically is on the same time as Beijing, but is really two time zones later than Beijing, so lunch is at 2pm instead of noon... think Colorado for you EDT folks.  So, for observed time, subtract 2 hours from Beijing time (or add 10 to current EDT).

If you click on the Beijing link, you'll see that it's going to be 102 degrees on Monday, and 99 Fahrenheit the day we arrive.  Oy!
