As winter approaches, a powerful rain and snow storm is about to sweep the south. This rain and snow will undoubtedly become the most striking meteorological event of the year. When the Arctic vortex, the subtropical high and the southern branch trough converge, the central and eastern parts of China will usher in a rain and snow weather with the strongest intensity, the largest scope, the longest time and the most complex situation since this winter.
The boundary between rain and snow will be located in eastern Guizhou, central Hunan, eastern Hubei, Anhui and central Jiangsu, which is slightly northerly than the boundary between rain and snow in January 2008. It is expected that when the heavy rain and snow weather comes, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and southern Hebei will usher in a wide range of snowfall.
Compared with the extreme rain, snow and freezing weather of the year, this rain and snow weather showed three major characteristics. First of all, warm air dominates, while cold air is slightly inferior. Secondly, the rain and snow will not last too long. Finally, water vapour is able to penetrate deep into the north, bringing widespread snowfall to these areas.
In the face of the upcoming heaviest rain and snow, each of us should take adequate measures to protect ourselves from the cold and keep warm, pay attention to travel safety, and try to avoid outdoor activities. Let's spend this winter day at home and feel the power and beauty of nature.
