The Spring Festival is about to kick off, and we will face the most complex weather challenges since 2008! The rain, snow and freezing weather will continue for a period of time, affecting a wide range of areas, bringing a lot of trouble to transportation.
According to reports, from January 31 to February 5, the central and eastern regions of China will usher in the longest lasting and most extensive rain, snow and freezing weather process. 10 provinces will experience heavy snow or blizzards, and the daily precipitation or cumulative snowfall in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Liaoning, Hubei and other places will reach extreme values. In addition, freezing rain will occur in the five provinces of Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan and Guizhou.
The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River are mainly rainfall, and there is a large range of thunder and lightning activities. The northern part of the country will experience rain and snow, and some areas may even experience heavy snowstorms. Considering that this rain and snow process occurred on the eve of the Spring Festival, it is expected to have a greater impact on traffic travel.
The last time there was widespread rain, snow and freezing weather during the Spring Festival was in 2016, and in early 2008, there was a rain, snow and freezing low temperature disaster in the south. The weather conditions are unpredictable during the Spring Festival, so you must pay attention to the weather forecast when traveling, and take precautions to ensure your own safety. Let's work together to tackle this challenging Spring Festival!
