China News Service, Beijing, October 14 (Reporter Chen Su) The reporter learned from the China Meteorological Administration on the 14th that the cold air activities affecting China are becoming more and more frequent. In the next ten days, two waves of cold air will affect China.
Monitoring shows that in the past ten days, except for the average temperature in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which was 1 to 3°C lower than the same period in normal years, the temperature in most parts of China was close to or higher than the same period in normal years.
The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that two waves of cold air will affect China in the next ten days. After the influence of cold air, the average temperature in the northwest region, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Inner Mongolia, North China, Northeast China and other places will be 1 to 3°C lower than the same period in normal years.
Zhang Tao, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that from the 15th to the 19th, cold air brought rain, snow, strong winds, and cooling weather to affect China from west to east. During this process, the rainfall range, rainfall intensity, and thunder and lightning conditions were rare for the same period in history. In addition, we must also focus on the impact of strong winds in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea.
It is expected that from the 15th to the 18th, there will be moderate to heavy snowfall in high-altitude mountainous areas of Xinjiang, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, northeastern Inner Mongolia, and northwest Heilongjiang, with localized blizzards or heavy snowstorms. Moderate to heavy rains occurred in the eastern part of Northwest China, northern and eastern North China, the southern part of Northeast China, Huanghuai, Jianghan, and northern Jiangnan. Among them, there were heavy rains in southern Liaoning, Shandong and other places.
It is expected that from the 15th to the 19th, the temperature in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and most areas north of it will drop by 4 to 8°C from west to east. There will be winds of magnitude 7 to 8 and gusts of magnitude 9 to 10 in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea around the 17th.
From the 20th to the 22nd, a new wave of cold air will continue to affect China. Northern Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, northern Northwest China, North China, central and southern Northeast China, Jianghan and other places will have a temperature drop of 4 to 6°C, with a local drop of more than 8°C. Some areas will be accompanied by northerly winds of magnitude 4 to 5 and gusts of magnitude 6 to 8; there will be light to moderate rain in central and eastern Inner Mongolia, northern North China, Northeast China and other places, and sleet and snow in high-altitude mountainous areas.
Meteorological experts reminded that the strong winds in the north will significantly cool down during the large-scale cold air process. The public needs to pay attention to temperature changes in a timely manner and be prepared to protect against wind and cold. There is significant snowfall in parts of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and Heilongjiang, and there is widespread rainfall in the central and eastern parts of the country. We need to pay attention to the adverse impact of rain and snow on traffic safety.
