A large-scale rain, snow and freezing weather is about to hit more than 10 provinces in the central and eastern parts of China. It is expected that the rain and snow weather will be divided into two stages, the first stage will affect Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces from January 31 to February 2, and the central part of Jiangsu, central Anhui, and southern Hubei will become the rain and snow dividing line. The second phase will occur from February 3 to 5, with the rain and snow will expand, the blizzard area will shift southward, and the central and eastern parts of the Yangtze River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will cool down.
Blizzard will appear in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, northern and eastern Chongqing, eastern Liaoning, eastern Jilin and other places. **The Meteorological Observatory continues to issue heavy snow, fog and gale warnings at 6 a.m. today. This rain, snow and freezing weather will have a certain impact on the traffic returning home during the Spring Festival, and travelers must pay attention to safety. The god of ice and snow is about to descend, and the central and eastern parts of our country are about to be hit by a rare rain, snow and freezing weather.
This weather will cover more than 10 provinces, bringing some trouble to the Spring Festival homecoming traffic. Have you ever wondered why this rain and snow was so severe, and how the impact was so widespread? First, let's take a look at the two phases of this rainy and snowy weather. From January 31 to February 2, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces will usher in the first phase of snowfall, while central Jiangsu, central Anhui and southern Hubei have become the dividing line of rain and snow.
Subsequently, from February 3 to 5, the rain and snow will expand, the blizzard area will shift to the south, and the central and eastern parts of the Yangtze River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will usher in cooling. Blizzard will sweep through Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, northern and eastern Chongqing, eastern Liaoning, eastern Jilin and other places. **The Meteorological Observatory issued another warning for heavy snow, fog and high winds at 6 a.m. this morning to remind everyone to pay attention to safety. So, why is there such a severe rain, snow and freezing weather?
One of the reasons is the eastward movement of the upper-air trough and the strengthening of the warm and humid airflow, which led to the southward movement of cold air and the interaction of warm and humid airflow, resulting in this widespread rainfall and snowfall. In addition, according to the meteorological department**, due to the influence of temperature changes, the temperature in the snowfall area may be below minus 5 degrees Celsius, forming road ice and snow, which brings a lot of hidden dangers to transportation. In the face of such severe weather conditions, the transportation of the Spring Festival travel home will face certain challenges.
According to the statistics of the transportation department, during the Spring Festival every year, China's population flow is as high as hundreds of millions of people, and this rain and snow weather will have a certain impact on the travel of returnees. Heavy rainfall and snowfall will cause slippery roads and reduced visibility, causing great distress to drivers. In addition, rain and snow can also cause flight delays and cancellations, causing inconvenience to travelers' travel arrangements. In the face of such weather conditions, each of us should pay extra attention to traffic safety.
If you must go out, please check the road and flight conditions in advance and arrange your itinerary reasonably. At the same time, you should pay attention to keeping warm when traveling, and try to avoid staying outdoors for a long time to avoid being attacked by the severe cold. In addition, if you encounter a traffic jam or unexpected situation, stay calm and obey the traffic rules to avoid accidents caused by impatience. Finally, we would also like to thank the meteorological department for their efforts to remind everyone to stay safe by constantly issuing warnings.
We believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, we will be able to get through this rain, snow and freezing weather and usher in a safe and smooth Spring Festival journey home. The weather changes drastically across the country, and a large-scale rain and snow weather is about to be ushered in. This weather change is not only intense, but also widespread, and is expected to affect multiple provinces. Among them, the phenomenon of freezing rain needs special attention.
Freezing rain is formed by the convergence of cold and warm air, and the temperature of the raindrops is below 0, and once they hit the ground, they will quickly freeze, causing a lot of impact on power poles, roofs, crops, etc. Recently, the weather has been unusually changeable across the country, and the forecast shows that there will be a large-scale rain and snow in the next few days. The intensity of the rain and snow is gradually increasing, and the scope is also expanding. In this weather change, freezing rain has become a more prominent phenomenon, affecting Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hunan, Guizhou and other provinces.
Freezing rain is produced by the convergence of warm and cold air and is characterized by raindrops having a temperature below 0, so they freeze quickly once they hit the ground. This weather phenomenon can have an impact on power poles, roofs, crops, etc. Freezing rain and freezing on power poles can increase the load on power poles, which can cause poles to break, making power supply difficult. Freezing rain and freezing on the roof can increase the load on the roof, which can lead to the risk of roof collapse. Freezing rain and freezing on crops can cause losses to farmland and affect farmers' harvests.
In order to cope with this freezing rain, a series of countermeasures have been taken in various places. For example, the power department has strengthened the inspection of power poles, and found and dealt with problematic power poles in a timely manner to ensure the stability of power supply. The building department assessed the load-bearing capacity of the roof and notified the residents in time to reinforce the roof to ensure safety. The agriculture department has issued reminders to farmers on how to deal with the effects of freezing rain on their crops and to provide protective measures. In addition, freezing rain has also brought certain difficulties to people's travel.
Freezing rain makes the ground slippery, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. Therefore, in freezing and rainy weather, everyone should pay special attention to driving safety and reduce unnecessary travel. If you do need to go out, it is advisable to choose public transportation to reduce safety risks. In short, the arrival of this freezing rain has brought a certain amount of trouble to our lives. But as long as we take good measures and strengthen our awareness of prevention, I believe we can survive this cold winter.
At the same time, it is also hoped that all localities and relevant departments can strengthen monitoring and early warning, release weather information to the public in a timely manner, and provide accurate reference for everyone. I hope you will pay attention to safety and protect yourself and the people around you.
