Wang away revealed that spring is late this year and that the post-spring period is likely to be in the winter spring alternate season, with a warmer and more volatile period. Since the onset of winter this year, our climate has generally been warm and dry, with an average precipitation of 40 per cent less than in the same period of the year, but temperatures are 1 degree higher than in the same period of the year, with a total of 14 rounds of cold air processes in the country, four of which reached cold-tide levels. In particular, as from 16 january to 21 january this year, affected by intense cold air and cold tides, there were strong coolings in most parts of the country and strong snowfalls in parts of the central east。
According to the latest predictions by the meteorological services, during the spring transport, the weather in the country as a whole was characterized by relatively high temperatures and fluctuations, with much less precipitation. Specifically, between 2 and 14 february, when you are all returning, we will have two cold airs affecting the north, east, central and parts of south-west china. It is recommended that spring return routes be planned in advance and that early warning information on weather forecasts be given timely attention. The two cold air events were from 5 to 7 days, with the potential for severe cooling and snowing in northern china, north-eastern china and eastern inner mongolia. The second was from 10 to 13 march, with the potential for low-temperature rain and snow weather in north china, north-east china, inner mongolia, north-east china, north-central china and the east north-west. In the pre-spring period, affected by a moderate-intensity cold air, the northern region is likely to experience gradual cooling and heavy snowfall, and north-east china, north-central china and east south-west china are likely to experience periodic cooling and freezing of rain and snow, suggesting travel or travel in advance of weather。
By the end of the holidays, the weather was warming, but there were still two or three cold air conditions. In addition, there may be periods of fog and low energy visibility in north, east, central and south-west china。
Wang ya wei believed that, throughout the spring campaign, it had been recommended that the northern region should intensify its efforts to prevent the adverse effects of the gradual cooling, snowing and freezing of roads on transport and tourism. In east, central and south-west china, attention has been paid to the adverse effects on transport caused by the freezing of seasonal rain and snow and low-visibility weather. In the east and south-east, the weather conditions in the straits of jonglei state are likely to be of a phase of fog, requiring attention to such aspects as maritime travel and the safety of fishing vessels. In addition, high temperatures in south-east china, south-central china, south-east china and the west of the south-west of china, and the potential for meteorological drought, suggest, inter alia, that forest fire risk be protected。
