It's not due to weather, it's due to PEK air traffic control. Seems like most flights are getting delayed between 1 and 2 hours or longer. Usually domestic flights are ground stopped at their originating airport. Be cognizant of this when scheduling connections at PEK, esp domestic to PEK to international outbound.
