A strong cold air continuing to move southeast will bring low
temperatures and frost to south China over the next three days,
China's Central Meteorological Station (CMS) forecast on
Sunday.
The cold air will bring temperatures down by three to six
degrees Celsius in south China. Parts of Fujian will expect the
lowest temperature of minus three degrees Celsius, while
temperatures in parts of Guangdong and Guangxi are set to reach
zero and minus two degrees Celsius.
The CMS urged farmers in these areas to take measures to protect
their orchards, rubber plantations, vegetable farms and aquafarms
from the chilly weather.
Most parts of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will also experience a
four-to-eight-degree drop in temperature. In the south part of
Qinghai Province, temperatures may drop by more than 10 degrees
Celsius.
Light fog is expected to cloak most areas of Yangtze-Huaihe
valleys, northern part of south China and parts of Guizhou,
Chongqing, Sichuan and Yunnan on Monday morning.
