The reporter learned from the China Meteorological Administration on January 28 that from January 31 to February 5, there will be a wide range of continuous rain, snow and freezing weather in the central and eastern parts of China.
According to reports, 10 provinces will have blizzards or heavy snowfalls, of which the cumulative snowfall in Henan, Shandong, Hubei and other places is extreme; The five provinces of Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan and Guizhou will have freezing rain, and the rain in the south of the Yangtze River will not be weak, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Compared with the previous round of rain and snow, this round is expected to last the longest and have the widest impact since this winter. * Sun Jun, chief forecaster of the Meteorological Observatory, told reporters that this time it will also exceed the amount and scope of snowfall during the course of December 13 and 15 last year.
According to meteorological experts, this round of rain and snow weather is mainly due to the superposition of the southern branch trough and the north branch trough, which is conducive to the southwest warm and humid airflow to the north, bringing a wide range of rain and snow weather.
However, meteorological experts point out that itsThe duration, low temperature intensity, and freezing range were not as good as those in the early 2008 low temperature rain and snow freezing process in southern China. The extent and intensity of snowfall in the south of the Yangtze River were also weaker than those in January 21-22, mainly rainfall.
Because the rain and snow impact period is the peak period of the Spring Festival travel homecoming, and the area with serious rain and snow impact is located in the central transportation hub province of China, it is very unfavorable to traffic travel.
