The last alternation of morning and dusk, 2023 has entered the final countdown, and no matter how the year passes, it has become history.
Let's take a look at the 2024 New Year weather!Overall, in addition to the current New Year's Eve cold air that is affecting our country, there will be three cold air waves affecting our country in the next ten days, namely: 2-3, 4-5 and 6-8. From the perspective of time, these four cold air are basically seamless, which means that the weather calm period before the end of the year is over, ushering in a new round of cold air active period.
Let's take a look at the current New Year's Eve cold air first. Affected by this, the visibility in most parts of Shanxi, Beijing, Tianjin, and the west-central part of Hebei has improved significantly this morning compared with the same time yesterday. However, further south, there are still many places in the morning that are still in a state of heavy fog, especially in the southern part of North China, the northern part of Huanghuai, Jianghan, and the Sichuan Basin.
On the morning of December 31, there was heavy fog in Changqing District, Jinan, Shandong Province, with a minimum visibility of 121 meters. The picture shows Changqing Lake in the fog of Jinan International Garden Expo Park. (Photo: Zhang Qiandong).
It is expected that the atmospheric diffusion conditions of the Huanghuai and Jianghuai will also improve tomorrow, but there will still be fog and haze in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Generally speaking, the current round of cold air is weak, the ability to eliminate fog and haze is poor, the relative humidity of the air is high, and the retention time of fog and haze is long.
As the cold air continues to affect our country in the south, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the temperature in the south will also drop for a short time, or even turn low, the maximum temperature in many places in the south of the Yangtze River will drop below 10 °C, and many places in South China will be less than 20 °C. Like Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Hefei, and Wuhan, the maximum temperature will drop to single digits tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
After this cold air, on the 2nd-3rd and 4th-5th, there will be two weak cold air activities in the northern region, the impact will be limited, and the temperature in the south will also rise steadily, and it is expected to reach a recent high around the 5th, and the maximum temperature in the south of the Yangtze River will return to about 15 °C.
What we really need to pay attention to is the strong cold air process that began on the 6th and 8th, and this cold air will bring significant cooling to most parts of our country.
Due to the high temperature in the early stage and the high base temperature, the cooling range of this strong cold air will be relatively large. According to the medium-term forecast of the ** Meteorological Observatory, from the 6th to the 8th, there will be a strong cold air that will affect our country, and the temperature in most of the central and eastern parts will drop by 6-10, and the temperature in some areas will drop by more than 12, and some areas will be accompanied by windy weather. In the early morning of the 8th, the minimum temperature 0 line will be pressed south to Guizhou to the central part of Jiangnan.
The activity of cold air also leads to an increase in rain and snow. In the next few days, the rain in the south will spread all the way to the east, covering most of the south of the Yangtze River. On January 3, there will be a short interval of rain in the south, and from January 4, there will be a wide range of rain in most parts of the south, of which on the 5th-7th, the cold and warm air will be affected together, and there will be light to moderate rain in the eastern part of the southwest region, Jiangnan and South China, and local heavy rain;Hubei, Guizhou and other places have rain to sleet or snow.
At the beginning of 2024, the weather has changed greatly, and the rain and snow have increased
