China News Service, Beijing, November 6 (Reporter Chen Hang) The reporter learned from the Beijing Meteorological Bureau on the 6th that there was an obvious rain and snow process from northwest to southeast in Beijing from noon on the 7th to the morning of the 8th. The main precipitation period was from the evening of the 7th to the early morning of the 8th, with an average precipitation of 15-30 mm.

Zhai Liang, chief forecaster of the Beijing Meteorological Observatory, said that snowfall will continue to occur in the mountainous areas of Yanqing, Huairou, Miyun, Pinggu, Changping, Mentougou, and Fangshan in Beijing after 12 o'clock on the 7th. It is expected that the cumulative snowfall will reach blizzards, with heavy snowfall in individual spots, with a snow depth of 5-10 cm, and more than 10 cm in local areas. In the plain areas of the above-mentioned areas, northern Haidian and northern Shijingshan, sleet will turn to snow after nightfall, with a snow depth of 1-3 cm. Rainfall began in the urban and southeastern areas on the afternoon of the 7th, and gradually turned to sleet or snow after 20:00, with no obvious snow accumulation.

Zhai Liang said that the temperature in Beijing is expected to drop significantly from the 7th to the 8th, with the highest temperature during the day being around 6°C and the lowest temperature at night on the 8th being -4°C. The temperature gradually rose on the 9th. The Municipal Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning signal for regional heavy snowfall at 18:10 on the 6th.

The Beijing Meteorological Bureau reminds that rain and snow will cause slippery roads, reduced visibility, and snow and ice on some road sections. Please arrange your travel plans properly and pay attention to driving safety when driving. Mountainous areas have heavy snowfall and obvious accumulation of snow and ice, so travel safety risks are high. It is recommended to travel with caution and stay away from large trees, billboards, and temporary structures to prevent injuries from snow.

At the same time, the temperature drops significantly during weekends and the body feels cold. It is recommended that the frail people should avoid going out as much as possible. During outdoor activities, they should add clothes to keep warm in time to prevent the occurrence of colds and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. To prevent cold at home, pay attention to the safety of electricity, fire and gas.
