China News Service, Harbin, October 23 (Reporter Wang Nina) The Heilongjiang Provincial Meteorological Observatory announced on the 23rd that it is expected that there will be a rain and snow weather process in the province from the 26th to the 27th. The northern region will be dominated by snow, and the southern region will change from rain to sleet or wet snow. There was local heavy snow in northern Heihe, northern Yichun, eastern Harbin, eastern Jiamusi, and eastern Shuangyashan. The new snow depth was 1 to 4 centimeters, and locally it could reach 5 to 7 centimeters.

The main precipitation period is from the night of the 26th to the day of the 27th. There will be light to moderate snow in the northern region and the southeastern mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, with local heavy snowfall in Aihui, Jiayin, Tangwang, Fenglin, Fangzheng, Yilan, Tonghe, Fuyuan, and Raohe; in the southern region, there will be a phase change of rain and snow, with showers turning to sleet or wet snow in southern Qiqihar, southern Daqing, southern Suihua, western Harbin, eastern Qitaihe, western Shuangyashan, and Jixi.

The cumulative precipitation during the process was 2.5 to 5 mm in northern Heihe, Yichun, eastern Harbin, Hegang, eastern Jiamusi, and eastern Shuangyashan, 5 to 8 mm locally, and 0.5 to 2.5 mm in most other areas.

From the 24th to the 27th, the temperature continued to drop across the province, with a cumulative cooling range of 6 to 8°C, and locally it could reach 8 to 10°C. There will be more windy days in the next few days, with gusts of magnitude 7 to 8 in most areas, and local gusts in the eastern region reaching magnitude 9 on the 27th.

In addition, from October 29 to November 1, there will be a rain and snow weather process from west to east in most of the province, with light to moderate snow in the northern area and localized heavy snow.

The meteorological department reminded that rain and snow will cause roads to be icy, snowy or wind-blown. The roads in the northern region and the mountainous and semi-mountainous areas of the southeast will be slippery and visibility will be low. Emergency control will be required on highways and airports depending on the situation. All regions have done a good job in finishing the autumn harvest, covering the harvested grain in time to prevent rain and snow, and ventilating and drying it in time to prevent mildew and deterioration.
