Why It Matters
At the beginning of winter, affected by strong cold air, widespread rain and snow occurred in northern China, while it continued to rain in the south.
At the beginning of winter, the cold air with the strongest intensity and the most southern impact in the second half of the year has come online. Rain and snow in the north have increased significantly, and the rain and snow are mixed. At the same time, widespread rain continues in the south. This morning, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued a blizzard warning and a heavy rain warning at the same time, which illustrates the intensity and rarity of this round of large-scale heavy rain and snow. In addition, this time, Hebei and Tianjin, the same province and city, appeared in blizzard and heavy rain warnings at the same time. This is rare, and it also shows that both warm and cold air are strong. Among them, the core area of heavy snowfall is in northeastern Hebei. Due to the strong southerly wind and the terrain blessing of the Yanshan Mountains, the possibility of extremely heavy snowfall cannot be ruled out in individual spots.
During the day tomorrow, the rain and snow in the north will shrink rapidly. As the cold air advances southward, the rain in the south will also weaken simultaneously, but there are still heavy rainfalls in some areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan and other places.
From the 9th to the 11th, most areas across the country will be controlled by dry and cold air masses, with mainly sunny or cloudy weather. Due to the influence of the South Branch Trough, rainfall continues in Yunnan, which is beneficial to alleviating local meteorological drought.
Coupled with rain and snow, temperatures across the country will start to dip into bottom mode in the next few days. This round of cooling has a particularly obvious impact on the daytime. Today, most of the north is taking the lead in cooling, with a local drop of more than 12℃. The beginning of winter means "winter" and "freezing". Friends in the north are in urgent need of down jackets for body protection when they go out today.
This cold air will also move all the way south. From the 9th to the 10th, the cooling center will be concentrated in Jiangnan, South China and Yunnan. By then, the maximum temperature in most of the above-mentioned areas will be less than 20℃. The highest temperature in Kunming on the 9th was 8°C, which was rarely cold during the same period. The highest temperatures in Guangxi and Guangdong were mostly in the early 20°C, and the heat was no longer hot, ushering in the feeling of autumn.
In addition, the sea is not calm. This afternoon, Typhoon Chapaka, the 32nd typhoon this year, was born. So far, the number of numbered typhoons this year has reached 32, setting a new record for the number of typhoons in the 21st century! "Chapaca" will have no impact on my country's maritime areas in the future.
