There will still be haze in Huanghuai in North China on the 14th. Cold air precipitation will become more active in the coming week.
On October 14, the Central Meteorological Administration reported that many areas in Northern China, including the North China Plain, the Huanghuai region, the Jianghuai, and the Jianghan regions, experienced dense fog in the early morning. Visibility fell below 500 meters in parts of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Hubei, with some areas reporting visibility of less than 200 meters due to severe fog. In response, the Central Meteorological Administration issued a yellow fog warning this morning, forecasting that some areas in southern Hebei, western Beijing, central Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and central Hubei would see visibility drop below 500 meters, with locally severe fog reducing visibility to under 200 meters.
Further complicating the weather, the forecast indicates that during the day, central and southern Northern China, central and western Huanghuai, and the Fenwei Plain will experience light to moderate haze, while southern Beijing and parts of western Hebei near the mountains may see heavy haze. Residents in these areas have been urged to take precautions for outdoor activities and to exercise caution when driving due to potentially hazardous conditions.
Looking ahead, the latest forecasts suggest a significant shift in weather patterns over the coming week, as cold air and precipitation are expected to become more active. A strong cold front is predicted to sweep through eastern Inner Mongolia and northeastern China over the next couple of days, bringing strong winds and a noticeable drop in temperatures. Wind speeds are anticipated to reach levels of 5 to 6, with gusts of 7 to 8, resulting in temperature decreases of 6 to 10 degrees Celsius in most areas, with some regions experiencing drops of over 12 degrees Celsius. Before the arrival of this cold air, northeastern Inner Mongolia and much of northeastern China will see rain and snow, with moderate to heavy snowfall expected in high-altitude regions, and some areas facing blizzard conditions.
In addition, the next three days will see continued cloudy and rainy weather across eastern Tibet, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, and Jiangxi, with significant rainfall in parts of eastern Yunnan, central and southern Guizhou, northern Guangxi, central and western Hunan, and northern Jiangxi, where heavy rain or even torrential rain may occur. Starting October 16, a widespread precipitation event is set to affect the central and eastern regions.
Meteorological experts are advising the public to stay informed about local weather updates over the coming week, as frequent weather changes could impact travel and daily activities. Additionally, areas like Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan should be prepared for the risks associated with sustained rainfall or localized heavy downpours that may lead to secondary disasters.
