Get ready to bundle up: the Chinese mainland is bracing for three cold snaps in a row this week, packing strong winds, sharp temp drops, rain and ❄️. Here’s the lowdown:
- Wave 1 (Nov 24–25): temps plunged 8–12°C in the northwest and north, with force 8–10+ winds whipping up dust storms. Central & east China saw 4–8°C drops; some northern pockets dropped up to 12°C. Expect light–moderate snow north of the Yangtze 🌨️.
- Wave 2 (Nov 25–27): moving north→south, another 4–8°C dip (10–12°C in spots) with gusty northerlies (force 5–9) and light–moderate snow or sleet across the north; heavy snow possible in parts of southwest.
- Wave 3 (Nov 29–30): mainly north of the Yangtze, 4–6°C falls (8–10°C locally) with force 4–6 winds; heavy snow or snowstorms expected in northeast Inner Mongolia & northeast China.
Meteor experts say: check local forecasts, layer up (think thermals 🧤🧣), secure loose items during gusty days, and watch out for slippery roads. If you’re commuting or travelling, factor in possible delays – winter can be unpredictable!
