Heads up, snow lovers and cold-weather warriors! A major cold snap is rolling in on the Chinese mainland, and it's packing a punch with plummeting temps, snow, and gusty winds. ❄️🌬️
According to the National Meteorological Center (NMC), starting this Wednesday (Dec 10) through Saturday (Dec 13), huge swaths of the Chinese mainland will feel the chill. Northwestern regions could see a jaw-dropping 12-14°C temperature drop – time to dig out that cozy jacket! 🌡️🧥
Where to watch out:
- Snowfall in northwest and northern regions of the Chinese mainland, the Yellow River and Huai River basins, plus parts of Inner Mongolia and the northeast.
- Strong gales sweeping across most northern areas of the Chinese mainland – hold onto your beanies and umbrellas! ☁️💨
Metro commuters and road-trippers, take note: icy roads and low visibility can turn your daily commute into an unintended adventure. Slow down, allow extra travel time, and keep some warm layers on hand.
For those in agriculture, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the China Meteorological Administration have issued joint warnings. Heavy snow could crush greenhouses and freeze veggies and livestock inside. Protect your produce and animals by reinforcing shelters and checking heating systems.
With the festive season around the corner, now's the perfect time to plan ahead – whether you're catching a train to Beijing or streaming shows with friends, stay comfy and safe. Share this alert so everyone can beat the freeze! 🥶✅
