Hold onto your hats and scarves! 🧣❄️ The Chinese mainland is about to experience its first major cold snap of 2024, starting this Saturday and lasting until Tuesday, according to the national observatory. Get ready for some frosty days ahead!
The National Meteorological Center (NMC) has forecasted that this cold wave will sweep across central and eastern regions of the country, bringing temperature drops of up to 14 degrees Celsius! 🌡️ That's a big chill, especially after an unusually warm period.
Heavy snow and blizzards are expected to blanket large parts of southern China from Sunday to Monday. Time to bring out those snow boots and maybe build a snowman! ☃️
On Friday evening, the NMC issued a blue alert for the cold wave and advised affected regions to brace for the bad weather. For those who don't know, China has a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system for cold waves, with red being the most severe, followed by orange, yellow, and blue.
Stay warm and stay safe, friends! It's the perfect excuse for hot cocoa and cozying up with your favorite shows. 📺🔥
