Rain and snow will continue to hit most parts of China over the next two days, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) forecasted on Sunday.

A new cold front is expected to sweep north China over the next two days, bringing strong winds and a temperature drop, while the previous one will be still in China's southern part, said the CMA in a statement on its website.

Parts of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Hebei provinces as well as the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are forecasted to see heavy snow from March 7 to 9, while rainfall will ease in southern part of the country, it said.

Temperatures in those regions would go down by six to eight degrees centigrade, with some areas experiencing an even sharper temperature decline of 10 to 12 degrees centigrade, according to the CMA.

The CMA expertise warned that the freezing weather might cause damages to wheat in the north and cole in the south and asked local governments to take relevant protective measures.
